We just found one of our 8 week old chicks that we put in with the big chickens a few days ago with ALL her skin and feathers pecked/ripped off her head. I put some antibiotic ointment on her head, since that's all I could think of doing. I can clearly see her bone. It is so graphic. (shudder) what else can I do? Will she survive?
I took the other three chicks out of the chicken coop and put them back in a box in our basement. Now I'm not sure how long to keep them there before puting them back into the coop with the older birds and how to keep them safe. Any suggestions?
Here is a pic of her head.
The whitish stuff is the antibiotic ointment.
