Chirping
I had a 6 week old chick escape their separate run and ended up with the adult chickens and ducks. When I noticed it she had been pretty beat up pretty good. I cleaned her up with water and baby soap, sprayed some special spray on it, and placed her in isolation in the garage to heal.
She had feathers pulled out and had some blessing. After being washed up there was no more blood. The feathers are pulled from her back near her tail. Currently I don't see any open wounds, just missing feathers.
My question is how long before I can take her out of isolation and place her back with the other 5 chicks. I don't want her to be away from them for too long but I also don't want them to start pecking at her.
What have other people used for as a time frame. And also, is it more than likely that the bleeding was from the feathers being pulled out than actual cuts and abrasions?
