Just logging on to see your post. Poor baby. Sorry to hear about what happened.

Well, at least they survived. Now to get her feeling better. The injuries are severe but can be managed.

Saline solution will be your best friend. Keep the area clean at all times.
A good diet will also aid in the recovery. Good feed, fruits and veggies and ACV in the drinking water.
As Keltara indicated, raw honey is great. And keep her wrapped after you have cleaned her area.

You should be able to find raw honey in your local organic store. I would suggest getting the raw honey that has not been "heated".

If she is eating and drinking, then that is a good sign. Proper care, good eating, TLC and patience will have her back on track in no time.


We all makes mistakes so this a learning experience.

Keep us posted.

You mean put the honey on the wounds? I want to do the raw honey but in afraid that if turkey pecks her ( with turkey does but it's soft an not harmfull he's just cleaning her) he will like the taste of the honey an keep pecking an Pecking

Umm my turkeys head is now bald ish from the pecking wounds an its skin is blue ( I know this now be ause my other chickens pecked away the fluff so I can see the skin an it's blue) doesn't tht mean its a hen?

Betadine ointment worked on my badly pecked Quail and a young dove who tried to join my chickens and couldn't get out again both healed fast, full recovery good luck

She is acting like normal tody but u can tell something's up an she knows it but besides that everything is good! Plus we bought another cage so the honey can work now because they can't bite each other

I actually just had something similar happen...my adult rooster got beat up by one of the others. His head was a lot like your chick's (but a lot worse...), his face was so swollen that he couldn't open his eyes. I adore him so I wanted to save him...and his eyes were intact when I pried them open so I decided to try.

I had to force feed him for 3 days, but then his eyes finally opened and he was able to eat on his own. It's been a week and a half, I think, maybe two weeks, and he is doing well. I doubt he'll ever grow any feathers back on his head...but he is alive and I don't think there will be any permanent damage.

I would spray the head with Vetrycin antiseptic spray. Its soothing, antibacterial and antiviral. You can get it at any decent per supply store. Betadine ointment would also be fine.. very staining though. So get latex gloves before you open it up.

Do y'all think the feathers will grow back?

I don't know for sure, but I do not think the feathers will grow back. Only because my hen got bitten by a dog and it pulled the feathers out and tore up some of her skin. They never grew back. But maybe on her head it might be different????
