What should we do for this chicken while we are gone?

I'l try to get a photo in the morning. Those are great ideas. I thik I'll look into the Alushield. Thank you!

We couldn't find the alushield at our local, but we found blu kote. That stuff is serious. Got some on me too. Thank you so much for these suggestions.

Usually Alushield is available online at Jefferspet and Amazon, but I have seen it at Rural King and once bought it at TSC. I have used BluKote for scalp injuries on my Polish, but some say it attracts more pecking. My chickens never did that, and yes, it is messy. It wears off eventually, but should be applied every few days.
