I was not home for the incident but I came shortly after. Feathers were everywhere. One set of feathers from my speckled Sussex...

    Wound on molting hen- from picking? Need to do anything??

    One of my molting hens has a scabbed wound on her butt, where she's started molting. I think it is probably from picking and already sprayed the birds with stop-pick, but the area is swollen and firm to the touch. I want to make sure this isn't something to worry overmuch about. I've given her a...

    What to use for flushing wounds

    Ok, I have watched too many vet shows and read numerous articles about what to use to flush out wounds. ( like bumblefoot surgery, dirty wounds) What do you prefer to use, what is the best recommended, how to make the dilutions? Peroxide is not good? ( Injures tissue) Povidone, iodine...

    Crusty head wound?

    One of my chickens that was added to the flock about a month ago has a weird crusty wound on her head that I just noticed today. I don’t know how long it may have been there because she’s normally very skittish and doesn’t let me near her or pick her up. But now she’s squatting so I was able to...

    This is Milky, she was attacked by a fox yesterday. We got to her just in time, and the wound doesn’t seem to have gone deeper than skin and we cleaned the wound out already.

    Treating wound

    In the process of establishing a pecking order between our existing flock and two new chickens, one got an open wound on her neck. Wondering if the would will heal on its own or if we need to do something to treat it. We have separated her and the other new chicken from the flock again.

    Unknown duck injury

    I noticed this wound under the end of my female peckin’s right wing. I’m guessing it was from a tumble down the hill, but I’m not certain. If anyone has had any similar issues, or knows how to treat the wound, then any information would be greatly appreciated.
