So I just have to share this new product I got in my chicken subscription box. (See photo) I noticed one of my Turken hens had a big gash on the skin on her head from where she was getting picked on by the flock. All bloody, raw and pretty deep. I dabbed some of that Red-Kote on and let her back...
Hello all- One of our girls got attacked by the neighbors 2 little dogs, and they pulled her skin off pretty good from neck down between wings, and on one side. She also got a bite on her chest. This was Tuesday 9/26. We cleaned with betadine solution/warm water spray, and have treated for...
My flock was attacked by a hawk two days ago. This poor girl ended up injured. I cleaned out the wound with a 50/50 of hydrogen peroxide and water and then I put antibiotic ointment on it. She is acting fine, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to look while it's healing. Does this look infected...
Came back from a week vaca and discovered my Silkie roo (Moe) had not only developed some sort of fungus on his ear lobe, but also had his tail feathers plucked out and a somewhat scabbed over wound. I've given him a bath, Blue Koted the wound, and isolated him. This is my first time dealing...
Hi all! This is an extremely unusual health issue and I'm looking for any possible help. Three weeks ago I noticed one of our hens was sluggish & poo covered. I immediately took her for a bath only to discover the entire circular area under her vent/anus was covered in maggots. We rinsed &...
I apologize for the graphic image, but I dont really know how to describe the wound in a way to show the difficulty of helping this bird on our own if it’s possible. Our neighbor’s dog got ahold of one of our chickens and tore open a LARGE portion of our hen’s skin, exposing a vast amount of leg...
One of my hens slipped under a hole in our fence to cavort with the neighbor roo and got attacked by a dog for her trouble. I found the dog with the hen in it's mouth, hanging by her neck. The dog dropped her and bolted at the sight of me, and I managed to find the hen and bring her back to the...
Hi. So, I have a little Amaraucana hen that was pretty brutally henpecked, and her back was tore open down to bone. It's now starting to look infected. I don't have pictures of the infection, but the initial wound from a couple days ago. It should be somewhere on the post. She is being treated...
I just introduced my 2 brahmas, 2 barred rocks and 2 black sex links to the existing flock this past Friday. The Isa Browns seem to be very aggressive towards the newbies. I have tagged one that I caught being mean. Today both Barred Rocks were attacked rather viciously, to the point that...
