What happened?
She cut her head somehow... I have reason to believe that it was on a metal barrier I put up that had holes in it, but I didn't find any blood or skin on it anywhere. Maybe it was my rooster, though I highly doubt it. He is nice to the hens, if not me.
 
***Gruesome pictures***
I can't believe This could have happened to my favourite chicken, and I am glad she is okay now. I thought it would get all infected, and she would slowly die from it, but she healed up extremely well and fast. All the vet said on the phone was to "Put salt water on it (one cup per one tablespoon) and some polysporin after three to four times a day." She stayed in a box in my room at night and I stayed with her as she walked around the house, but mostly in my sister's room (she loves her too, and sometimes calls her "her" chicken.). I think she had the top of her head sliced off from a metal sheet that I was using to block the chickens from my garden. Those sheets are way on the other side of my yard now, to be thrown out. :) They now have a snazzy new run to go in (even though when it is a day that I don't need to go anywhere, I will let them out.)


Second day ^















week or so ago ^
I still don't have a picture of what it looks like now, but there are feathers all over it now, and that lump is still there. XD
She has gone soft and now is scared of the rooster, whom of which she was the boss of before she got hurt. She is going to be my pet even after she stops laying. Not so sure about the rooster though.

I was amazed that it healed! I told my dad about it via text message when it happened, and just a few days ago I called him again and he said: "I honestly didn't expect to hear anything good about that chicken!" lol I wouldn't have either!
 
Missed a bit. I have been busy. Built a big temporary rooster pen out of spare parts for all the extras. Well I thought it was a big pen until I had birds in it and then it looked really small. Deciding who stays and who goes. Pulled a few birds out for shows. Broodies are due tomorrow or so. Family visiting all week and thru next weekend. It is Tuesday and I am worn out.
