I am wondering about how long nerve damage takes to heal?
This is her second week in sick bay. Gerdie has a large hole under her wing, no puss, healing well, no bad odor. . I have been bathing her in empsom salt daily, and giving her tumeric in her feed, antibiotic cream, vetrx, antibiotics, coilodal silver, and homeopathic st johns. She's very tired most of the day but she is eating and when I set her outside for her therapy ( I don't want her to get bed sores and I want her to move around and get sunshine and grass and weeds to eat. Her tail is up, she just doesnt walk well. She is separated from the flocks and sleeps in the house on a carpet pad.
I am going to have to remove the hard spurs on the rooster and maybe even move them into the old barn, The old barn isn't as secure and is more like a cage instead of coop. We lost some girls and we gained another rooster. I do want fertile eggs, but not at the cost of hens. In the older hens, I have 6 hens including Gerdie who is out of commission and 2 roosters. I know that is too many roosters to hen ratio. Wonder if I should have a batcelor pad rotate roosters. Do the saddles protect the sides?
Thanks for any suggestions regarding rooster damage. Not really ready to eat one. Thanks for suggestions.
