scalped

Hi all, about a week ago i noticed one of the neighborhood roosters in my yard with what appeared to be black gunk all over his head (my first thought was someone did something cruel and dumped something hot on him but honestly idk). he looked wretched, but at the time i was not intending to...

I let the chickens out, and as I was putting egg shells in the compost I noticed someone was in the corner. I got her inside upon realizing she was injured, cleaned her with some soup and water (gently, with a clean wrag) then applied neosporin. She's currently in a cat carrier, and she's...

So my mother got some Turken chicks, and I loved them as they have great personalities and make good decisions, now they have gotten to an age where they’ve decided to establish a pecking order and getting into small skirmishes, nothing had been very serious but I had one come up to me with its...

This chick was scalped 2 nights ago. The first night I used peroxide, saline and white cream Neosporin. The next morning I tried taking off the Neosporin but some of it wouldn't come off. I used saline and then iodine to rinse it after getting off as much cream as I could. Then applied clear...

I found this chick looking like he got scalped by one of our turkeys about 2 weeks ago and have been keeping him inside since. I have been putting neosporin on his head and it seems to keep it moist and he is super active, but noticed last night his eye looks like it’s being pulled upwards. He...

My hen hatched some chicks the other day without us knowing. When we saw her with them we started scanning the yard for any that might have gotten stuck anywhere and we found a little one standing on top of a wood pile super still and barely chirping. I nudged them a little and they gave some...

I just got back from picking up some chickens off of Craigslist. Among one of them my Ayam Cemani rooster is not in good shape. I know people are going to wonder why I even bought him then. I bought him because I did not want him getting more and more beat up. I wanted to give him a better...

I awoke this morning to find my Tibetan Coturnix hen scalped! A horrific sight, made my heart stop opening the coop to see such a thing. She was cuddled in the corner drinking water trying to stay hydrated.... I have seperated her from the rest of the flock, (a roo and 2 other hens) and she is...

When I went out to check on my quail, I found this feller in the hide with a friend. Who has experience with quails recovering from being scalped? I separated him, of course, brought him inside. Cleaned up his head as much as possible, applied Scarlex and antibiotic ointment. I haven't probed in...

My first time posting for help!!! I have found so much information here, it's great!! So, when I opened the coop as usual today at 7am to let the birds out, they all were excited as normal to get out, Rooster first, followed by the pullets, and two bit older bantam pullets. EXCEPT for one...
