Hello all,
I have a 10 week old Bielefelder hen who got caught in some wire and tore her skin under her right wing to the point where it was fairly bloody. She is limping on her right leg and sitting more than standing but she seems perky and alert, just a little sore.
My question is this, if her wound is hidden under her wing can I put her back with the flock and just take her in to clean and disinfect a couple times a day? Or is it best to isolate her until the wound is fully healed. She is not super high up on the pecking order and I would hate for her to lose her place.
My chickens have a run but are let out for a few hours every day to free range. Not sure if that is relevant, but there it is.
Thank you for your help and advice!
