it’s currently 8:06
I have a batham Kikiriki hen that wa a roost and has been for the past couple of days we were letting her sit on her eggs she would go out every couple days to eat and today was that day. We have banthams with regular sized hens intergrated in the same flock. We have more Kikiriki hens and 1 rooster and the regular sized hens and 1 rooster
We alternate letting the regular sized rooster out if he is then we cage up the Kikirikis and let the regular sized rooster with his hens
But if we cage the regular rooster then we let all the banthams and regular hens together with the bantham rooster which everything operates good under his watch
Today at around 10 we were getting ready to leave the house and we left the kikirikis in the cage but left the broody hen in the nesting box as she was broody and we didn’t think anything would happen
At about 12:30 through the camera we see the rooster pecking at the little hen but we didn’t think much of it cause she usually just gets pecked 1 time and runs away and that’s the end of the story at about 4 when we got back we see the hen in the middle of the coop laying down with her head on the ground
We moved her to the hospital, with the brooder light food and water since we picked her up from the coop she’s been standing with her head down almost like she’s looking down with her eyes closed she’s missing her head feathers and neck ones but she’s not really bleeding I don’t know why, both eyes are fine also so I’m not worried about that but I’ve also put blue-kot and have her under the light what else can I do to help her
FYI rooster has been dispatched
