Survivor with small wounds. Tips to keep her healthy and comfy.

[6RandomBrownLayers]

I have lost 5 birds in two weeks and thought I had lost another until she showed up this morning. There were feathers leading across the road and it wasn't looking good. Then this morning I see her in front of the coop waiting to go in. I was so relieved. She has a couple small wounds on her back that scabbed over and don't look infected. She is missing some feathers on her back and stomach. I was wondering if there is anything I should do to prevent infection and keep her safe? Will the other chickens peck at her as the feathers grow back? Will the feathers grow back? Will she lay again due to all the stress? Thanks for any help

I'd cut or trim the broken feathers around the wounds and disinfect them with peroxide and put some neosporin on them. It wouldn't hurt to put some hot pick on her as well.

I'd also try to find a way to keep them safe from whatever predator is getting them. Sounds like you have a fox or a raccoon.
