    Hi all, I'm looking for some advice after discovering a maggot infested wound on one of our hens yesterday. We initially panicked at the sheer horror of the injury, it seems that the maggots had been tunneling away under her skin on her belly for quite awhile, and we only became aware when the...

    Dog attack. Open back wound

    My hen was attacked by a dog which pulled out all her tail feathers and left a nasty gash on her back. So far I am going to clean her off and wash the wounds with peroxide and cover with triple antibiotic ointment and cover with gauze. Is this the right thing to do? Will this heal?

    Stray dog attack/open back wound care

    My rooster was attacked last Tuesday by a stray dog. He successfully defended the flock, not a hen was hurt. It flayed his back open, exposing muscle. I have been flushing his wound with saline, packing with neosporin, then an absorbent pad secured with vet wrap. I am having trouble keeping his...

    I have a hen that gets picked on. The other chickens peck her feet and they bleed and bleed. So a few days ago I put her into a separate cage, that’s in the coop.

    Is It Too Soon To Reintroduce Back Into Flock After Serious Injury???

    Nine days ago, I found my Lavender Orphinton had been mauled by what started as overzealous breeding of my Cockerel who has started mounting my girls. It appeared he had bitten into the back of her neck, drawing blood which brought on the flock tearing at her wound and causing significant injury...
