Oh by the way Bluemusefarm... My Rooster did this same damage in front of me with one strike at the back of the neck!!!! The hen pulled at the same time the Roo pecked and it was a total rip of flesh. Then he turned around and ate the flesh - feathers and all!!! How gross is that?!? I have now separated the Rooster from the girls.
You should try and find out which bird did the damage... I and keep an eye on her/him

I know I will sleep a lot better tonight.

Good Luck,

We have a nice screen porch where she can stay when the weather heats up. But it's gonna be in the 50's tonight, so I think she'll like the garage much better -- at least for tonight!

50s? I want to come live with your chicken on your porch It hasn't gotten out of the 80s overnight in ages..

This is good advice.

Wash your hands. Wear gloves, if you have them.

Gently clean the wound with warm water and sterile pad.

Apply neosporin to the wound. Diluted iodine is also an option.

Separate her until she heals.

Vitamins and electrolytes in water.

Keep her warm and draft free.


Let us know how she does?

thanx!!!!!!!

Thanks again for your help, BYC friends...our chick is doing MUCH better. She'll be in solitary healing confinement for quite some time, but she's healing well, eating and drinking normally, and seems pretty happy. Wouldn't have known what to do without you all -- THANK YOU!!!!
