Went to put kids in bed tonight and found one of my leghorns with a lot of blood on her head. whilst I put the coop on lockdown to catch her ( these leg horns really are the hardest to catch out of my gang), there was a loud bang on the side of the barn. Turned out it was a hawk coming in for an attack on 3 who had been caught outside. They were lucky. Checked them over and no wounds but my leghorn didn’t fair so well. I know that it’s often the case that with small wounds bleed a lot but I persevered and have tried to clean her up. I don’t want to stress the poor thing out any more than I already have but I cleaned her up with disinfectant the best I could and have made her some scrambled eggs. I’m going to keep her in the garage for next few days at least so others don’t start pecking at her. My 2 questions if I may. I don’t have any creams or potions to put on her. Do I need something. I’ve removed as much of the blood as I can but I don’t want to muck her about too much.
second question. I’m new to this chicken malarkey, is there a basic chicken first aid kit I should keep?
p.s. I feel bad that I haven’t named this chicken as so many of u do but I’ve got 24 and this one never lets me love it
