Bad wound on chicken butt

[Chrissye96]

Yes it is common for others to peck at red skin or wounds. It can escalate to the point of really getting bad, or even pecked to death if they see blood. Let us know how she bets along.

Thank you! She seems to be pretty calm in the crate which is good. She’s with her friends and she’s safe so that’s what matters. I’ll continue to treat night and day. I think I’m going to let her sleep with the others at night because last night she didn’t sleep at all. And then in the mornings when the door opens at 7 I’ll go out and put her back in the crate
