How will this wound look once healed?

July 26. I think.

How long did it take to heal completely?

How long did it take to heal completely?

It had a seal of thin skin over it after about 2 or 3 week(would have been faster if her sister hadn't pecked her the moment I let them see each other after a week went by) she had thick skin after another week or so. And full feathers after a month more or so. I put a salve on it , I'll try to find the recipe for it .

Well there goes the saying hawks don't attack black chickens. Hope she heals.

One of my chicks was attacked by a raccoon earlier last year amd this is what it looks like now.

what method did you use to help it heal, like what did you use/do, please?

Just use triple antibiotic ointment twice a day.

Just use triple antibiotic ointment twice a day.

soooo, i tried that and it literally sloughed off, like ran right down. There was nothing it could stick to. I have been spraying saline on it/

After you sprayed the saline, did you dry it off? Before putting the ointment on it?
