In the Brooder
My 16 month old Wyandotte was injured by a dog 6 days ago. It seems like she had a punctured air sac on her back. We brought her inside, cleaned her up, and treated the wounds. She was touch and go for a few days, but the wound closed on her back. By day two we started her on amoxicillin. By day 4 she didn't want to eat anything except egg and watermelon. By day 6 (today) she only wants to eat watermelon. Otherwise, she seems much better. We've walked her around inside. Yesterday or was almost 24 hours without a poop, but she finally did. How do I get her to eat? She is free range and had been scratching at the ground, but I don't think she's ready to go out yet.
