Injured with Beak problem

[AlaskGirl]

Thank you!! I applied one syringe so far so I'll stop and a long-time poultry friend suggested a Stinkweed/Artmesia/Wormwood poultice. I'll call the local health foods joint tomorrow and see if they have anything. Otherwise, I'll use Betadine as you suggest, I have that already.

She's sleeping and content inside the extra large tote now and doesn't seem the least bit edgy. Call it my imagination but she's so much calmer in an enclosed space. I've checked every hour so far to see if she is trying to drink.

Many thanks!!

Sounds like you're doing all you can to give her a shot at recovery. I'm sure you have your hands full right now, but hope you can find time to let us know how the hen's doing and how you're holding up.
