Snowball is hurt

[Star and eclipsa]

Okay so long story short the rooster from down the street found my rooster and hen and has been attacking them. He apparently got snowball from between the fence holes and hurt his nose.

He's an American game chicken and snowball is the white polish. That second picture is from before he hurt snowball. He hurt him while I was at school.

How can I dress and clean the wound?

Is the wound deep? You should wet a towel and wipe his injury clean so it doesn't get infected. Maybe put some Neosporin on there as well.

My mom is on her way home from work so I'm gonna go talk to the other rooster's owner about it when she gets here.

Greetings Star and eclipsa,

Yes, it looks superficial. Hopefully the beak is not cracked. Check to make sure. Apply some Neosporin as PollyGirl21 suggested. Just make sure that the Neosporin doesn't have any pain reliever in it, as anything ending in "caine" is toxic to poultry.

That game rooster will kill both the hen and your roo, if he gets the chance. If he can't do that, he'll peck out their eyes, right through the fence. I would contact the owner, and let them know what is going on. Game roosters need to be confined or tethered so they can't attack other chickens.

Poor Snowball, I hope all goes well.

God Bless

I only have pain relieving Neosporin (I've asked my grandma to get the non-pain relieving kind and she refused.
I know he will kill them. Im going to the owner as soon as my mom gets home. The owner is a nice guy but I don't want to go there alone.

I don't think his beak is cracked. Im glad he didn't scratch out snowy's eyes.

Let your mom handle the situation.

If you have some peroxide, just give a little cleaning using a cotton ball. And let it dry. Once it scabs over, it should heal up fine.
