Its smaller than quarter sized and it doesn’t appear to have gone very deep, just below the skin. She’s in a small coop on her own right now, because she’s so skittish I think being inside was causing her more stress.This appears to be a predator attack. How deep is the largest wound, & how wide?
I cleaned it out and sprayed it with vetricynDo you have any antibiotic cream on hand? Or vetricyn?
It’s under her wing, just under the top where it bendsIs this the birds hip area? I can't tell.
Thinking severe rooster damage, or possibly attempted cannibalism.
I agree with cleaning the wounds, & keeping them clean. It should be allowed to air heal.Ye

Luckily we do have an antibiotic on hand! I will definitely keep an eye on her food/water intake.The behavior is most likely shock. I would seperate her from the flock. You will want to clean out the wounds like mentioned. You can treat it with bacatracin or triple antiseptic ointment. I would monitor her food and water intake. You may want to take a weight too just in case she stops eating.
Things you may not need, but I would get on hand are tube feeding supplies and an antibiotic, like enrofloxacin. They can be difficult to find and with supply shortages, I would get them just in case and hope you don't need them.
While it may not be her favorite thing, being inside is safer. Flystrike is not something you want to deal with.She’s in a small coop on her own right now, because she’s so skittish I think being inside was causing her more stress.
Okay. I’ll bring her in, you’re right. Thank youWhile it may not be her favorite thing, being inside is safer. Flystrike is not something you want to deal with.
That is good. You can decide if you want to administer an antibiotic or not. I tend to wait to see if need it. It looks like a nasty wound, so you may want to start it.Luckily we do have an antibiotic on hand! I will definitely keep an eye on her food/water intake.
