My local feed store didn't have the Nu-stock so they recommended a salve called Ichthammol instead. It's a nasty looking salve that can be used for skin irriations. I washed my chicken in the kitchen sink, something that grossed my daughter out terribly but I scoured the sink later and threw away the sponge. She actually enjoyed her warm bubble bath! The feed store also said to use some hydrogen peroxide on her so I used that and then used the salve. She looks to be healing up great but she does NOT like being quarantined one bit! She just started to lay her eggs but I guess being quarantined has her so uptight until she pecked at her egg today. My husband and I let her out to mingle with the flock for a bit this evening. The other hens didn't even notice her wound with it being covered in salve. That stinky stuff is the same color as her feathers. If she continues to heal up nicely we will consider letting her out of jail this weekend. Thanks for all the help!
