Young Hen bullied and brutally injured, help!

As horrible as it looks, from what I can see in the pictures, it doesn't look life threatening. No skull fracture or anything. Main thing is keeping it clean and moist. Non pain relief neosporin is a good choice.

Phew! Thank you

When did this happen ? I had this happen to one of my old Ayam Cemani pullets. Hers was more sever though. Have you noticed any shaking of her head or not walking straight? I would say if you want to try and save her, then spay with veterciyn or the iodine water like you are and keep doing what you are doing. I’m glad to hear she is eating and drinking, as my baby would only drink and it was clear she wasn’t going to eat on her own again. Definitely use Neosporin with NO pain relief. It definitely helped my girl when I had her. As long as she’s eating and drinking on her own and you are keeping her separate with some good care I’m pretty sure she’ll be ok. Good luck and please keep us posted .

Thank you for the advice! I’ve been considering getting veterciyn and wanted to make sure it was okay to apply it in an area without skin. She is shaking her head a bit but I think it’s because of the wrap, and not the injury. She is walking straight but has been struggling with depth perception.

I discovered her yesterday at 6pm with my prior visit being at 8am that morning, so it would’ve happened over the course of the day yesterday i think.
