Okay I am posting this as a new thread. Yesterday I thought my baby may have had coccidiosis. But I noticed her face and beak has a small laceration where another chicken pecked her through her fence. Just now I saw a small amount of blood under her wing on her left side. I thought it may have been bloody feces but I wipes it with a baby wipe and it was a scab. When I realized what it was I left it alone but it is quite large. I am giving duramycin for any infection she may have or get in the wound but is there any thing else I can do to make sure she makes it through? She's still eating and drinking just fine. But having a hard time flying and flapping her left wing. It's not broken I think it just hurts her because of the wound. Here's a pic of it! I need advice please!!!!

Continue giving Duramycin. I'd also put some antibiotic ointment (with no painkiller or chemicals ending in "caine), like Neosporin, onto the wound.
