Hey BYC!
As I mentioned on the title, one of my hens was attacked yesterday by something (we think maybe hawk or cat) and lost around 100 feathers on the lower back (and some on the tail). When we examined her, I saw a bump on the bottom of the bald spot. There is a small cut on the middle, but other than that, there is no blood. We put antibiotic ointment on the bump and the cut. What is the bump? Also, will the feathers grow back? Any help is appreciated!
Thank you for the help!
