One of my girls got sandwiched between two pieces of wire fencing. I can't figure out how she got there. I had to cut a hole in the fence to get her out. Unfortunetly, the dog was on the one side. He, obviously, was able to get to her. He pulled out just about all of her tail feathers. (I'm glad she turned her tail to him and not her head.) I gently washed her with a mild soap and water, rinsed her well, dried her, and applied Neosporin. She spent the night in a small cage by herself. She is eating and drinking and making unhappy noises at me. She even laid an egg overnight. (I can only imagine how much that had to hurt.) There is no bleeding but her rear looks like hamburger. I'm worried what the others will do to her if I put her back with the flock. She seems very upset about being in the garage in a small cage. How long should I wait? What should I do?
