My 9 month old Barred rock has some injuries from being the rooster’s favorite mate. She doesn’t have any feathers under her wings, and now part of her wing on the top is completely bare down to skin, near her back- I think it would technically be her elbow. This is the area I’m concerned about. I don’t think a hen saddle will help since they don’t cover the wing area. The skin isn’t broken yet, but it’s probably just a matter of time. I filed my rooster’s spurs and nails yesterday since I’m not sure what else to do.
Are there any products I can put on her exposed skin to protect it from further injury? I have used blue coat, but I’m wondering if there is some sort of skin protectant? Due to the area I can’t wrap it or cover it. I’m not looking to get rid of anyone, and I have no place for separating them so if anyone has other suggestions I would appreciate it!
