As oldhenlikesdogs says a peck
here is what to do:
You can buy BLUE-KOTE from
Amazon.
bu the
or tractr supply sells Blue-Kote you spray it on chicken and heals the wound.
If you can't get it right away
I would isolate her in a dog carrier in the garage and doctor it several times a day with Bag Balm.
It heals wounds fast also. may take several days to heal over.
The bag balm will allow you to see the actual wound in a day or so as the top blood will be gone.
Also blue-Kote will you see the wound healing.
As this bird has some majoR problem there.
I personally would isolate it in a dog carrier here it is warm to be like the garage.
Also for the stress of this wound you need this:
WET MASH PROBIOTIC MASH
So here is what I would do at this time to help her get to feeling better
I would start with the Vit E and Vit B complex and Selenium with wet mash
A) chickens do get some upset in the gut with E.coli and then it goes to a nervous disorder
natural probiotic wet mash with Vit E and Vit B complex and Selenium added immediately
basically the chicken has some nerve damage from the E.coli do this immediately
need neurolodigal vit E and Vit B complex and Selenium for E.coli and the nervous disorder Also the apple cider vineager in water
(1) 2 tbsp acv per gallon of water till chickens are well and then 2 times a week for life
for one chicken use 1 tbsp of ACV
1 pint of water
(2) immediately give the chicken 1000 mg capsule of liquid Vit E by cutting the end of the capsule and taking the vit E liquid and mix in wet mash probiotic
(2-B) total amt of capsules equals the total amt of chickens fed vit's multiply amt of recipe times amt of chickens fed it and the amt of vit's times amt of chickens given them
(3-A) also need to crush a vit B complex pill in tabsp and add tsp of water to it
put it in the chickens wet mash after it is disolved
(3-B) take a Selenium capsule and crush it in a tbsp and add little water to disolve it and ad to the wet mashalso.
(3-C) then give this to the chicken twice a week for two weeks should see much improvement
after the chicken has eaten the wet mash probiotic clean wet feeder and restock dry crumble feed.
(4 Do both Vit's twice today then for 7 days till you see some improvement in the chicken
(5 today I would see if the chicken will eat a wet mash with the Vitamins E and B complex
(-B) THIS IS FOR ONE CHICKEN
natural probiotic wet mash
2 tbp of dry crumbles
1 tbsp flax seed meal (the kind people take)
3 tbp of water
1 tbsp of non flavored yogurt
2 tbsp of apple sauce
put it on top so the chicken can smell and see it
mix good and put the
vit E liquid as directed in the wet mash
and crumble the Vit B complex tablet in a tabsp with litle waterand add to the wet mash
Crush the Selenium tablet and add water and add to the wet mash
**BESURE AND MIX VIT'S VERY GOOD IN WET MASH***
(6 Do this twice a day for 7 days to see if the chicken is better
then do this once a day for another week then once a week for a while
this should give the nervous system some stability and cure the bad E.coli in the gut
(6-A) they should clean it up in 20-30 minutes
this will help them get good gut flora
also put 2 tbsp of ACV in gallon of water and keep giving them this water for a week straight ( do not use ACV while giving medications.
then give it 3-5 times a week for life .
ADDED NOTE:
you can use milk as moisture additive for adult chickens but:
chicks have to use water as moisture additive.
