I thought MAYBE she went under some sharp-edged hardware cloth, so I bricked off every POSSIBLE snag in the coop and run.

Skin grafting 101 ?

Yikes!

Poor thing.

Mary, you know you want to lick her clean, like a cat.

Mmmm...Neosporin.

I just found a Frizkin (frizzled cochin/silkie) hen like that....she got herself into a pen of cockerels, twice! I sprayed her head with blukote & put her in with the Favs & she's healing, even has both eyes open now. Boys will do just that. I'm thinking of taking ALL the boys (except the buff bantam Faverolles & the old silkie, & maybe just one more) to freezer camp next week if I have my car back. (or have found a suitable replacement, like a small 4WD diesel truck, hint, hint).

I actually snuck over to this thread (sadly, no icelandics here yet) to see if there was a mention of the calendar... in scanning a few of the 14 pages, no icelandics came up. What could be better in next year's calendar?

Have a good weekend!

I posted two different entries for the calendar with Icelandics (a pullet and a newly hatched chick under mom), Kelly posted one of Luna (an Icelandic pullet) and I know that kathy has at least two (new chicks and two roosters glaring at each other) in her poll choices. Mary doesn't seem to think she should enter because she was featured in the calendar last year.

Maybe you can talk her into it!!!!!!!!!

Here's the link to Kathy's poll with her pics she's considering entering. Numbers 2 and 16 are the ones I mentioned:
