Hen looks skinned alive and is tramatuzed

[Mooocoow7]

My poor slw hen looks like she was skinned alive and is severely traumatized about it. It smells really bad too. Is there anything else I can do besides spraying vetericyn and neosporin.

Just keep it clean, & moist. Since you mentioned a smell, there maybe an infection going on.

Looks like severe rooster damage.

The roosters are the only thing that could have done it. Just yesterday she had all he feathers and with all my other ladys they loose there feathers over time not in one night.

I'd suggest getting a hen saddle if the boys considered her a favorite.

How many boys do you have? Which one is more behaved?


The damage on her hips look like tears from spurs. Check for extra long spurs, those will need either a trimming, or pulling.

keep it wet, spray it with saline every time it dries out. get her a saddle for when she does go back into the flock. It really doesn't look bad, you just need to keep it clean.

I have 6 roos but none of there spurs are sharp yet. I've tried hen saddles before and they didn't work out very good they made the roosters rape the poor hen even more. I have 14 hens and am probably gonna get 3-6 more this year. The best behaved one is usually the one who is lowest on the pecking order.

poor ladies maybe they’re just learning right now and aren’t that gentle, you do have too many roosters though

Later this spring I'm going to build a horny jail for the roosters so the hens backs can regrow.

6 roos will be too many for only 14 hens usually you want around 5-7 hens for every standard roo otherwise the hens get mangled and can't catch a break, you need to cut it down to 3 boys at most though honestly id recommend only two with the current numbers
