ohh no! my little chick was attacked :'(

[cheeperchick]

Really need some help. My 7 week old dominiker was attacked by 5 month old ameracauna roo and pullet. Little head is completely pecked and bloody. I brought her inside & put neorsporin on her head and gave her some Gatorade & put her under a heat lamp but she seems kinda out of it still. She just stands still and closes her eyes.

Does anyone have any experience with this? I really don't wanna lose her :'(

I had a hen get scalped by a turkey once, I did the same thing as you except, no heat lamp and I put her in a box cage with a blanket, feed and water. She recovered back to full health in about two weeks.

You'll need to get that wound covered, do you have a liquid band-aid? Let that dry then put a gnaw on.
