Hen badly injured

[Sommano]

I don’t even know what my hens are.
Heddy (I thought) was a golden comet.
And as for Rebel, I just don’t know.

How do I get the greasy ointment out of her feathers?
I can’t give her a dish soap bath yet. I’ve tried just wiping her with a soapy towel.
I am going to try baby powder next.
Unless there’s a better way.

Has she healed up all the way?
I would just wipe excess away with a paper towel. Eventually the ointment will wear off when she heals and can go outside to take dust baths.

She has not healed yet.

When do we start letting her heal without ointment?

Omg. Your little angel. (The human one). so stinking sweet. Don’t blink. You’ll miss it. Mine is 22 and a wonderful young lady. But miss this time with her when she was younger.

If the smell is gone, then I wouldn't plush the wound out any more, let it start scabbing over. Apply your ointment at least once a day.
