This hen got scalped pretty bad by a rooster, or so I thought. Maybe she actually got scalped by hitting the wire roof, as some quail continued to show this even after I culled the roo. I’ve installed a soft mesh barrier which so far seems to keep them from damaging themselves .
Anyway, I brought her in for a week or two with some friends to recuperate, and although she had a small bump on her head, the wound healed over and new feathers grew in.
Recently though she’s got this big, shiny lump on her head. Is this from hitting the ceiling? Or something worse? She eats and moves perfectly fine, it hasn’t bothered her yet.
