EMERGENCY!!! NEED HELP NOW!!!

Two chickens. Okay. Let's try to work with that.

One way to distract a chicken preying on a Polish poof is to put something into their environment (cage?) that resembles a poof. If you have a couple of small nylon shower puffs, you could hang them in where the chickens are, and maybe the red will go after them instead of the Polish.

If you have cotton balls, you could string a bunch together to resemble a Polish poof and hang that up. The idea is to draw the attention away from the Polish with something that looks like him. Chickens are less likely to target a victim when they have multiple things that look similar to distract from the single target.

Get creative. Use your imagination. You can probably come up with something.

Its pecking order, all of them do it my turkey was doing that to my polish and her afro grew sideways so i tied it in a rubber band and it fixed it now she is a grand champion!!! Separate them and its ok if the red is freaking out, she will get over it. Make sure the wound doesn’t get infected ( it will smell ) apply the neosporen twice a day. And she should be fine.

Perhaps I am in the minority here, but I don't think that wound needs treatment. Just keep an eye on it & make sure it doesn't look infected or get dirty.

My neighbor had a chicken that pecked the chicks skin off of the poor chicks head!!

Unfortunately, this happens a lot with Polish chickens. Try spraying it with Blu Kote, it's anti-septic and blue so they won't peck at it. There is also a silver one.

Peroxide is good for initial wound CLEANING but only once at the beginning. Once it starts to heal, the peroxide will also damage the new tissue that is growing in so once it is healing, don't use the peroxide again, but it is perfectly fine to use on a scrape type would like is on his head to clean it and get all the germs out the first day that you are treating it.

make sense?

Okay, thank you. Yes, it does make sense.

Any chicken more dominant than the other will peck them no matters what

You will have to separate him. If you can pout him where he can see the other chickens, but be protected that would be ideal.

I use a wound lotion and sprinkle corn starch or baking powder on it, if it's big. Honey with corn starch will also work. Honey is an awesome wound cover.

I did the cornstarch and honey. Is that good? Should I put more honey? More corn starch?
