Hawk injury

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

AS long as she is eating and drinking, follow dawg's recommendations. Watch for any picking though, chickens can be deadly.

Thank you all for the expert advise - it really made things a bit calmer around here. I am amazed at how quickly chicks heal! Yesterday, when I went to apply more antibiotic ointment, the wound was less inflamed, and it is starting to scab over at the edges - amazing! No pecking, and she seems to be happy with her buddies. Think I can finally stop worrying. Thank you, thank you! Guess I can't garden with the chicks anymore though....nasty hawks!
