How to stop chicken pecking a wound?

[Eggcessive]

Sometimes you can make a TShirt by cutting down an old one that will cover the wound.

These are photos of the wound. The balm I applied yesterday must have worn off and she pecked and lost a lot of blood in the night. I applied more balm this morning. The blue is from the Blu-cote applied previously. I also tried fashioning a cone from a tupperware lid to prevent her from reaching down there but didn't have a way to keep the cone on her.

Can you upload the photos full size so we can zoom in? Can't tell a thing about the wounds.

They are really like little kids picking off their scabs like that. It’s gotta be uncomfortable. Why would nature drive them to do that?

I didn’t have any luck with medical-grade sticky fabric tape or doggy shirts keeping my Ameracauna’s injuries covered. He is fine now, though.

Is there an ingrown feather in the wound?

I'd try applying triple antibiotic ointment to see if that gives her some relief. Unlikely that tape or bandages will stay on.

Where is the wound located? Do you have a picture? I would try a sticky bad tasting ointment or vaseline on it. Neosporin, Bag Balm, or pine tar might work.
