Dog Attack :(

He got his bandages off AGAIN last night, so I have left them off for now. He must really not want them anymore. I will continue with the wound spray & keep an eye on it.

You guys are the best! Your advice was invaluable.

I would put a little ointment on his wounds and leave the bandage off. Thanks for the update, and I hope he continues healing.

Just an update, Red continues to do better each day. We still can’t let him out with the other chickens yet, because KFC (the smaller rooster) continues to attack him.

Sadly the hen we lost wasn’t only our last Soeckled Sussex, she was the top hen. So with the top rooster & hen gone, the flock is restructuring.

I’m going to get new pullet chicks this spring, but Red is in the brooding crate, lol. So not until he is better

Just wanted to give you a final update. Red's skin has almost completely regrown. He has a fresh layor of silky feathers covering the area, and he's grown strong again. He still hasn't taken his place back away the top of the flock, but he and the other rooster seem to co-rule at the moment. He still has a little limp, but hopefully that will clear up
