I sure hope he compensated/ credited you for what he took! You paid for it, it should've been you to decide if you wanted it hauled away. Personally, I would call him on it, and if it's not brought back, post a complaint on several social media reviews, and BBB.
Would their tongues and internals be affected?Here too…it’s all up in my pasture. I’m thinking that I will be digging them up this year to give to our chickens. They want it they can have it.
So, last night when I went to close up, checked on the roosting situation. Everyone was in/on the big coop. I think the two were relieved to not be cellmates anymore. I'll try to post a pic of what I mean when I say 'on' the coop.
I have just seen they like eating it.
I'm just happy it is pink healthy skin with no bad smell. I worry about infection leading to sepsis, blood infection.That didn't look so bad until the second pic. Poor girl. I would die if I had that kind of open gash on my back. Looks like your skills in bird doctoring will make her good as new. What kind of bandage is that?
She’s a very pretty girl! No wonder she’s a rooster favorite! Hope she heals well.I'm just happy it is pink healthy skin with no bad smell. I worry about infection leading to sepsis, blood infection.
When I 1st found her, I had to soak her in warm water & gently clean out the wound. It's not just a hole in skin, it is also the skin coming away & it is literally like a pocket down towards her leg, so when the rooster mounts her, his toes can go right down inside, transferring whatever dirt may be on his foot, into the wound, deep. So that is why it is Essential to clean it well yet gently, water should rinse clear.
1st bandage was with Neosporin & nonstick sterile pads, attached with the medical paper tape, as it seems to stick to skin best, without leaving goo behind or ripping out any possible feathers, although I trim away feathers that surround the wound. After the gauze & tape, I put a soft chicken saddle on her, she doesn't mind them at all & it actually keeps her from preening or fussing with the bandage & tape. The goal is to keep her comfortable yet also keep her wound clean. 24 hours later, I removed that bandage, thank God there was no nasty smell & the skin healing was a healthy pink. I rewashed the wound & as she loves it, shampooed her whole body with a gentle antibacterial soap. I did not find any mites on her but she was dusty from dirt baths. So now she is totally clean & in good spirits. The wound rinsed totally clear, then I did a Penicillin & raw sugar dressing, new non stick pad & paper tape. Then I dried her with the hair dryer on my lap, which she loved, then once dry I put a clean chicken saddle on her again. She is doing so well today!
This type of wound drains, so the bandage will be changed daily. If it was draining more, 2x a day, but she is doing great. Tonight I will flush wound with sterile saline then apply Neosporin & bandage again. I learned about using raw sugar & applying Penicillin directly from an old timer, he had so much knowledge. The 1st time I used sugar was for a prolapsed hen, she strained laying a huge egg. He told me to soak her in warm water, clean it off & rehydrate it, then get a handful of raw sugar & coat the prolapse, then gently work it back in. If it pops out, just repeat the process. The sugar has a therapeutic effect & promotes healing. That hen never prolapsed again. Some people use Manuka honey, it all works.
Anyway, here is Violet, relaxing, she just ate some fresh chickweed & Hentastic pellets with oregano.

We had our old, sweet, “Iron Lady” Sophie put down. 
She was blind, severely arthritic, and suffering dementia and we just decided we were being selfish keeping her around. We had Laps of Love come to the house and it was really peaceful and the vet was so very kind. Sophie always hated going to the vet, she’d shake and cry and lose hair…so we felt we owed her a peaceful exit. Today is a sad day.
