I have a 1 week old cornish cross with a large sore that I've been treating with neosporine. Please give me suggestions on treatment. I don't know how she got it.

I would describe it like a floor burn when playing on a gym floor when I was a kid. We do not use heat lamps, only brooders, so it would be difficult for their pits to be hurt. Other chicks do not seem to be bothering her and she still moves around well. Doesn't seem to be limping...It's a little hard to see... is it an open wound/pit type? Or is it just scabby?
What do you use for baby chick bedding? We are using the medium pine shavings and I am not a fan.Sticking with the Neosporin is probably alright for now to keep the leg skin soft on the joint, especially if you aren't sure what caused it. Keep an eye on it to see if the other chickens are picking at it at all.

A lot of folks use puppy pads. Is it more the mess of the shavings or what's the biggest drawback?What do you use for baby chick bedding? We are using the medium pine shavings and I am not a fan.
Chicks seem to eat them, especially the small pieces and they seem to chafe.Waty problems are you having with it?
We have 60 chicks. I don't think puppy pads would be economical. Biggest drawback is the mess and chafing.A lot of folks use puppy pads. Is it more the mess of the shavings or what's the biggest drawback?
