Neck injury

It sounds like she will be fine. Just do the first aid on her neck, and she should heal okay. If you see green skin, it can be a sign of bruising. Keep an eye out for any infection.

Ok, thanks!

You can get vetericyn at a pet store if one is close. Amazon ships it fast. It is a good thing to have on hand.

All of mine have done fine with cleaning, isolaton for a day and twice a day tretmens with vetericyn. It is amazing stuff!

So I took her to the vet, and there was a flap of muscle hanging off. She’s getting stitches in the morning.

Glad that you sought vet treatment. Let us know how she gets along.

Update! I took her to the vet a while ago, they trimmed the loose skin and gave her a bandage. They subscribed antibiotics and painkillers. Now she’s integrated in the flock and is fully healed, except for missing feathers on her neck. She’s massive already! Bigger than one of my standard hens, and only about four months.

Thank you for the update, and glad to hear that she is back in her flock doing well.
