So the Cinnamon situation... My neighbors moms dog got her. She has a large bite wound on her back in between where her wings meet. Her skin is basically gone on a portion of her back. She also has a small bite wound at the base of her tail. Not to mention all of the feathers she's lost. The girl isn't going to have many feathers for a long time. We cleaned her wounds with peroxide, then I read you aren't supposed to use peroxide because it kills healthy cells too so I poured warm water over after. Caked neosporin on it for tonight. I will probably just use it for today and tomorrow then I will put something else on. She is walking ok, a little unsteady. I gave her 10ml of electrolyte water, she didn't take it willingly either. I put her in a dog crate on the porch and gave her food that she immediately started eating, and water. I'm thinking she will be ok, but she won't be joining the others until she is fully healed, we definitely fm don't need to create a picking issue when there isn't one. She is not happy about being in the crate... at all. I think I'm going to move her to the big dog crate tomorrow, then maybe Tuesday or Wednesday she can go into the small coop. Always knew there was a reason I kept that thing. Whew! I'm done. Although i feel bad for Sugar now, Peppar is a hopeless Broody and Cinnamon is in a dog crate, so she's basically alone.
Yes. I switched them to layer feed at 18 weeks(Sunday) and was giving them egg shells for a few days until i could get to the store, but today I finally got them some oyster shell out there.
