How is her little head looking?
she's looking a lot better. Most of the injuries seem to have healed really well and all that's left of them are bald spots. The injury near her ear is still scabbed up and I'm slightly concerned about it, but like I said before, it doesn't appear to be infected anymore, but I'm kind of afraid that it has caused damage to the ear. It will probably be fine, though. I'm hoping that I can put her back in the coop in the next few days because she's doing well and the house smells like a farm
Yeah, I don't want the others to hurt her. How long should I leave her in the kennel before it's safe to let her out with the others?
It’s a Cornish cross girl I wanted to keep and try breeding. They had savaged her for what I don’t know. They’d been together for months without incident. I’m guessing it was the unseasonable cold and snow. I let her out and they started in on her again so she’s back in the kennel. I’ll give her a bath and fluff her all up and Blukote her head (though there’s no open wound now). I may have to process her when I do the Tom turkeys. It’s sad, though. She’s just too gentle to defend herself.
Aw, I'm sorry about your chicken. I hope that the others will stop picking on her.I tried to let one out yesterday after several weeks.
