Sounds like you will have her fixed up in no time. I also don't blu-kot birds when they are in the 'hospital pen' , I flush wounds with poultry aid or veteracin and keep edges moist with triple antibiotic. Seems like that works even with some pretty extreme injuries.
Now anything being treated out in the coop gets a liberal dose of the blue stuff...so Smurf hands are still a routine fashion around here, lol.
 
I agree! Anyone who is going back to the coop gets the blu! This is the handful of feathers that just fell out of her today. I had to check to make sure it was just from molting! It is, she has pin feathers all over. She has a purplish comb this morning which I don’t like, but she is much perkier today. She was very hungry and very annoyed that I wanted to handle her and examined her wounds. So all in all, she is doing well.

Anyone else have problems with Starlings in their run? Yesterday I went out and there were like 50 of them in the run trying to get out. I have bird netting along the top of the coop to keep them out which was a problem cuz it was keeping them in!! I opened the big door and eventually got them all out. There was poop everywhere. I had to clean the water and food trough. Ugh. Plus all the chickens had been hiding in the coops. Today there was like 5 or 6 in there I guess they are going in the auto door??

Big problem here, I managed to seal them out of the main coop, but there were 100+ in the turkey coop today. I've killed several when they weren't fast enough exiting. In the main coop, I built a trap at the far end and killed over 500 last year!

I have 2 of them, and they're awesome. The old one I had kicked the bucket though :/ I keep 1 in the turkey coop and 1 in a breeding pen. I had it in the layer own but my goofy geese kept "bathing" in it and spilling it everywhere so I had to move it. Hopefully, I can pick up a few more eventually for my other pens. Frozen water is SUCH a pain. If we ever got our of single didgets, the nipple waterer will work in the layer coop again but as of now, it's frozen :/
