Thank you so much for your advice. I will get the Vetericyn tomorrow and move him to his own cage. I was so upset to see him injured, it was something I had not prepared for yet since they are still so new to me. Thank you again!!I'm so sorry to read about your daughter.
I can't begin to imagine how hard that must be.
I always knew chickens were very relaxing and they certainly help me with the day to day stress of being an Alzheimer's caregiver but the extent to which they are soothing you is wonderful.
As for poor Petey, there really isn't a lot to do for him other than spray the area that looks damaged with a disinfectant like Vetericyn or similar and keep him confined in a cage with soft bedding for several days to restrict movement while things start to heal.
