paulad Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 Hi there This might be a silly question but does anyone know if a chickens preen gland will grow back ?? We picked up 4 exbats on Saturday and one of them has obviously had some sort of injury/attack as her preen gland is basically not there/sort of healed over. any ideas ? and will she be ok without it if it doesnt grow back ??

The Dogmother Posted December 3, 2014 Share Posted December 3, 2014 It depends on how deep the wound is; if the top of the gland has been taken off then it will re-grow. If she has been deeply wounded, then it won't.... poor girl, make sure to keep it disinfected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulad Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks The Dogmother - it doesnt look like a recent wound, seems to be quite well healed but I will keep an eye on it - thanks for replying x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
