Peroxide is frowned upon except as an initial wound cleanse. Even then, peroxide is not used in the medical community that I know of. It is very destructive to tissue which is trying to repair it'self... as is Dakin's solution.

Dakins is sterile buffered bleach used to debride dead tissue.
It hurts like hell.
I know because for 3 weeks, twice daily, I had to pack the infection tunnels of a huge abdominal surgical site that had to be reopened on my husband after a post op infection. (GI surgery) until the necrotic tissue was gone, then hallelujah, we moved on to a wound vac for 6 weeks.
It was torturous.
Even after predosing him with massive amounts of pain meds before starting.
I would never do that to a chicken.
I’d cull them before I’d put them through such agony.

Sometimes when your not feeling well something a little warm makes you feel better. That is the reason for warm water over feed.
Why cool feed is best?

It's a Duck and cold fresh water is recommended if fever could be present..
My vets taught me how to debride wounds, and all said I should create a margin around the wound, which means plucking feathers, or shaving hair if a mammal. All said *never* use peroxide. All said to flush with saline and chlorhexidine or betadine. This is what one of my reference books says:

That's what I do. Seriously, when I make mashes I always make them with warm water.
I’ve never been a big fan of cold chicken noodle soup...

That would be nasty. My birds love warm water over their feed they also like to drink warm water
Who has that recipe for making saline?
