[Midnightmr]

Hello, this is my first time using this website. I have a chicken that got beaten up pretty bad yesterday. Today the chicken was like a normal. This chicken seems to have a hole under the wing. I am asking for you guys help on what I should do in order for this chicken to heal up. Thank You

Here are some pictures of the chicken
I have no clue what I should do, I will really appreciate if you guys could help on what I should do thank you

First step: make sure the chicken is safe, so she can heal without getting hurt again.
This might mean a cage in your house, or a pen within the main chicken pen, to keep the other chickens from picking that spot.

If the area does not get infected, and if no internal organs were damaged, it will probably heal up if you just leave it alone. I've seen some really amazing stories of chickens who healed from scary looking wounds.

Do you know how the chicken got hurt?

Good!

Since she is safe, make sure she has food and water (just the regular chicken food, and plain water), and she will probably do fine.

I'll tag a few people who know more about injuries, and hopefully one of them can tell if you need to do anything else.

Luckily it looks like the feathers were just pulled and the skin damaged, I think if you just do what the others have suggested and make sure it doesn’t get infected she should heal up just fine.

Wound care involves a bit more than just watching for infection. These steps will help prevent infection and promote healing:


1. Treat for shock as the number one step. Give warm Gatoraid or mix a half teaspoon of sugar into a fourth of a cup of warm water with a pinch of salt and baking soda. Have the patient drink it all or syringe it into the beak.

2. Flush the wound well with saline. This is better than soap and water as it maintains the PH of the tissues. But warm soap and water will do. You need to wash away the bacteria from the wound.

3. Inspect the wound carefully. If it has a skin flap dangling, keep that. Do not cut it off. Look for bite or puncture makes indicating a puncture wound. If you see this, the patient will need an oral antibiotic such as amoxicillin. https://www.kvsupply.com/item/aqua-mox-250mg-capsules-100-count/P06184/250mg once a day for ten days.

4. Spray with Vetericyn wound treament and let dry. Use a topical antibiotic ointment such as Neosporin or a generic without pain killer in it to coat the wound. If there's a skin flap, lay it across the wound that has just been coated with the ointment. Then smooth on a generous amount over the top of the skin flap to hold it in place.

5. It's useless to try to stitch a wound on a chicken. Don't even try. It's also useless to try to bandage a wound other than on the feet. The chicken will not tolerate it. It will be pulled off faster than you can blink an eye.

6. Clean the wound every day following the above steps. Keep the wound covered with the ointment. Never allow the wound to get dried out or it will not heal.
