Small wound

[Rachie2591]

Hi everyone, unfortunately today a ferret has squeezed its way in my run and had hold of one of my chickens. The chicken was obviously in shock but seems okay however she has a really small bit of blood where the ferret has had hold of her. Do you think my other flock will peck at her, they haven't since it happened today and you can't see the wound

Thankyou

I'd monitor, to assure that the wound does not become infected, but if it is obscured by feathering I doubt if the flock will peck at her.

Thankyou, she's a crossed with a Silkie so very fluffy so fingers crossed. I'll keep checking the wound
