Here's what I've learned from reading tumblr posts screenshotted onto pinterest: Think 'MURDER' and you're much more intimidating.

doggos were running around outside and she yelped loudly when I couldnt see them and then came and laid by me by the main coop which was weird but I thought maybe the other dog was just bugging her too much since shes going into heat... she stayed with me while I checked the other coop & then came into my room and onto my bed and was drooling real bad (not a drooly breed) and sitting down and getting up, turning around in a circle and sitting back down, over and over. acting like she did when she was about to go into labor. and left big drooly spots on my bed & there happened to be a towel so I put my hand on her chest and pushed her back to be on the towel and she yelped & there was blood on my fingers.

theres a break in skin that's pretty big like pinkie length by pinkie length at least but its just torn skin and shes not even bleeding. the open wound is bloody but not enough to drip. and SO picked her hair out of it and super glued bits of it together and we are making her relax.

and I went outside to investigate even though the odds of me finding what hurt her were super slim & I found a clump of her hair next to the trailer. she hit the corner of it that wasnt even sharp but was running fast enough that it did damage.

Oh no! I hope it heals ok. Did you clean the wound before super gluing it?

I guess I would call my home a homestead-in-progress. We have 25 acres for two people, one dog, and four chickens. We got "pandemic chickens," like thousands of other people, but it was always a plan to get them when I retired. Covid retired me, so now I have chickens. :)

I'm big into gardening, and am loving the poop! I had the best compost ever this year. Even I thought it looked tasty. (No, not really.) We had the best potato, onion and tomato harvest, though the 'maters still were not enough for canning. I have lots of plans already for next year.

My chickens are not lap chickens, and I wish I had handled them more as chicks. I thought hand feeding them would be enough, but maybe not for Black Australorps. They will eat treats from my hand, will get on my lap for treats, but are not cuddlers. So no petting, no cuddles.

Pet Coco for me, if you think of it, please? She is beautiful.

That's like us- our 3 kids are grown, so we have the 25 acres, 3 cats, 3 goats and a dozen Covid hens (white rocks). The pandemic was an excuse to get chickens again, and we've sure enjoyed them and their eggs! Had horses in the past but don't ride anymore, and minis have too many health issues. (Besides, we reinforced the round pen the minis lived in, and built a nice chicken coop inside).

I would keep an eye on it. Look out for signs of infection.

I actually just asked him. He wasn't sure what the safest disinfectant would be for a wound this big and just wanted to get it closed up to stay moist. plus if she fussed with us, she was just going to get more fur in it and that wasnt helpful. plus vet tomorrow anyway.
