I've named him kazoo bc that's what he kind of sounds like. I hope it's just a weird crow. Thanks!

Thanks Anne. I had a hen that had been pecked so badly you could see the bones in her neck and she lived too.

Unfortunately this little one passed away last night. Thanks everybody for your encouragement and ideas on what to do for her!

Sorry about that. I am late to the party on this but if you have a wound like this again I sprinkle the wound with sugar then use Neosporan with no pain killer. The sugar dissolves and forms a "skin" that keeps the large wound from dehydrating the animal. It also feeds the damaged cells and speeds up regrowth. Even so with so large a percent of the body skinned it will always be touch and go.

There is a new medical procedure in human trials when large portions of skin are damaged/burned. They take tiny little plugs of your good skin (about half the diameter of a pencil lead) and put them in solution and then spray paint the cells onto the wound. Normally skin has to grow back from the edges of a wound but using this technique the skin forms over the whole wound at once. I look forward to the day that this can be used in vet medicine too because I lost a lamb one year to a dog attack when the wound was only loosing the skin over the back and hips. After 3 days she went into shock and died.

The people who were in the trials at one week look like 6 months of healing had taken place with no thick scar tissue just that fresh pink look of new skin.

That is really interesting, Penny Hen. Thanks for sharing. I didn't know the sugar trick.

Is this some weird crow or is he having some sort of issues? This guy is about 3 months old and is from a TSC bantam mix. I've lost 3 of the 7 I got from that mix so this makes me nervous. The other three which are a silkie, a d'uccle, and an OEGB (I think) are doing great.

Little Kazoo was dead this morning.

I am so sorry!!

I am so sorry!!

Thank you. Everyone else is doing great. I wonder if he just had some deformity. I'm keeping a close eye on the rest for sure.

I'm so sorry. When I heard him I thought of IB. The roosters are most susceptible and sometimes they make a funny little noise when they sick. You lost a bunch from your TSC bunch.

How are your other roosters?
