Hello

[Mommas1984]

You're welcome. That doesn't look too bad to me. I think you'll be able to get her healed up nicely.

Thank god I was a little worried

Blue coat can be bought at most feed stores.
I she a banty size or just younger ?

Okay, thank you, and I'm not exactly too sure how old she is and my husband said he doesn't remember her breed, so I'm still figuring that part out.

What do you mean?
Blue Coat or have others from pecking at her.I'm confused

Blu-Kote is a spray that some people like to spray on wounds because it, as I understand it, makes the wound less visible to the other birds and discourages further pecking. If I am wrong, someone please correct me! I've seen some people say they use it and others say they don't like it. I have no experience with it, but you can get it on Amazon. It looks like this.

I bet! I haven't dealt with injuries yet, but my flock did get coccidiosis. I was a wreck. They're all doing great now though. Your girl will too. If I've learned anything here, it's that chickens can survive some pretty awful injuries. Much worse than I would have ever thought.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!
I’d give her some extra protein as well - Mashed up scrambled eggs.

Really try that also would have thought that would be some type of cannibalism, but thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely try

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
You need to have your husband stop putting chickens that don't know each other in tight quarters. They need to be properly integrated.
Are you going to process the Cornish crosses when they reach size?

I told my husband that he should have just took her with him on his delivery.So I already let him know that he can't do stuff like this cause , you know , if they don't know each other , they're probably not going to get along.

To answer your question if I'm gonna process my Cornish crosses when they reach size. I am not sure what you mean.

Cornish crosses are genetically designed to gain an extreme amount of weight in a short amount of time. Their bodies can't withstand the growth rate and they frequently have heart attacks or major leg/organ failure. It can be controlled by minimizing the amount of feed that they get and free-ranging them to encourage them to move around but they will always have a very short life because of the way they were engineered as opposed to heritage laying birds. Most people do not raise them as pets. They are raised for meat.
