Help - hen barely walking and found hole in her side

Gosh, you are doing a great job. I am sure that you will come up with a good name for the feisty girl.

Awe thank you so much! I hope she keeps healing and getting better

I see a wing starting to gangrene. Most like a rooster from where the site is.

Go to store, buy Curad’s Silver wound ointment and wrap wing.

What do you mean exactly?

Can you indicate on the recent photo where you see infected/gangrenous tissue?
It looks like a nice healthy healing wound to me and I would second those that have told the OP she is doing a great job.

Thank you! I’m happy to go get some of that ointment if need be for sure. I have week old chicks in a box in the same room so if it is gangrene can that affect them?

@Lyndssxo08
MediHoney or raw, unprocessed honey from a local beekeeper or granulated sugar can be helpful on such wounds to keep them moist and encourage skin repair. I know that may seem odd but others here on BYC have documented their successful use on such wounds.

I’m not sure of any beekeepers around here. I have regular sugar though

You are doing a wonderful job with her. The wound appears to be healing nicely. I believe any raw honey will do. Do you have access to that or to Manuka honey? Do you have a Trader Joe’s nearby? I found Manuka honey there.

Can you tell if that's muscle showing or inside abdominal cavity?

If you want to try them, you can get some of the Manuka honey products here:
