cold hands here- I just brought in my eggs. My serama is broody- and she pecked at my cold hands as I was gathering- you know how that hurts. even from a serama.
Of course I have no eggs for her to sit on. She is on one of my Polish's eggs. Guarding it with all she's got.
I put the hen out with the rest. I need to bandage/suture her wound-
I need to do something, so I decided to just do nothing. Is that terrible?
She is one who I was going to take to my brother-in-laws. She hates me, runs from me, and is LOUD...and the one that constantly finds a way to escape from the pen. Well, her feathers cover the wounded area, which is quite large, so you cant really see it by looking at her. I fed her, gave her water, cleaned the wound a little- but the closer I am to her, the more she stresses.
She is keeping her wounded side away from the others. Acting like nothing is wrong...need an inconspicuous smilie. I am just going to keep an eye on her- and if she starts to do worse, or gets picked on- I will put her down.
