Hen has cracked her beak

Recommended Posts

I put my other post on the other day (hen bleeding on her back) well as you know i have been seperating them of a night shes comes in a box and i have seperated their run and her saddle came today its perfect so i went to put them back together and noticed blood on her foot she had knocked her scale off and it was bleeding so cleaned it up but they pecked her foot striaght away so separted them again :(

went to put them away tonight and bring her in and noticed her beak is bleeding she has been running against the mesh trying to get to the others so i have cleaned her beak up with a struggle as she is not a good patient! so i am worried now do you think she will be able to back with the others tomorrow she is trying to do everything to get to them

just need some advice still learning

 

thanks in advance

I think I'd keep her indoors for a day until you're sure the bleeding's stopped. (You can put cornflour on a wound to stop bleeding.) There's no harm keeping her in a box during the day as long as she's got food and water.

 

If she has the saddle on, perhaps she'll be OK to go back with the others when the bleeding has stopped.

 

Just seen what Plum's posted :lol: . We're not much help, giving you opposing advice.

I think I would as long as she has no bloody areas. So I would use purple spray or some food colouring to disguise the red and watch them for a bit. They are playing you up :roll::D

 

yes they are playing me up :lol: i just would love them to get back to normal :D on top of this our boiler has broken so no heating or hot water :cry: so not a great start to the year

 

wander why she is hurting her beak and foot to get to them i know she is missing daisy and vice a versa as i bought them from wernlas at 5 days old and have never been apart even throught the mesh! they cant wait to be together :D

 

as anyone else had probelms like this :?:
