I got some vetericyn, and I'm going to pick up some extra neosporin and Gatorade for her. I'm gonna put her in an animal carrier so she can get some rest in a nice quite place.

No, her brain isn't exposed. Just tissue. I can't tell if the skull is exposed, but it mostly looks like the skin was just torn open.

What can I use on it instead?

I'm on my way to get some blucote and a big tube of neosporin. I'm going to put her in a pet carrier for now so she can rest and get some Gatorade of her. Besides giving her some electrolytes, what else can I do to treat her shock?

I hope so. There's a big hole on the back if her head and neck, and I can see the muscles on the back of her neck.

Should I put guaze or some sort of bandage on her head?

I applied some neosporin. I'm going to run to the store so I can wrap her wound with guaze. Do you have any other suggestions for what I can do to help her?

I just discovered one of my young hens with a nasty gash on the back of her head. There's not enough skin to stich together. I washed it with water and applied some neosporin, but I'm not sure what else I can do for her. All of the vets are closed right now.

Neither of them make the usual pipsquack sound that the females usually make. I always figured that it was just bc there were two of them and they were nervous around me. That would explain why they chase each other around sometimes.

What's a bustle?

One of my two guinea fowl has been chasing the other around alot lately. I originally thought I had two girls, but now I'm not sure if I have two males, or if one if them is being chased bc she's the only guinea hen. The one on top has one curled and one straight wattle. The other has two curled...

I couldn't figure out where she was sleeping, but I managed to catch her with the live animal trap. I had to put it up against the barn door and bait it with scratch grains.

Well, hopefully the trap has already worked. I'll try the marshmallows if it doesn't.

I'll try keeping a distance and see if I can figure out where she's roosting. The raccoon managed to get loose while I was moving the trap, so I'll have to hope it falls for it again.

I'll try looking around in the dark, but the problem is that I don't know where she's hiding. I live on 10 acres in the country and there's a lot of tall grass.

A few days ago, one of my hens got loose and has been very evasive. She's very skittish and runs off as soon as she sees me. I've tried baiting a live animal trap with chicken food to catch her, but the only thing I've caught so far is a raccoon. She still comes around the barn to look for food...

Do legbars have straight crests?

She's about a month old. When I got her a month ago, they told me she was an Easter egger. However, I recently noticed her crest, which I've never seen on a chicken before. I couldn't feel a head knot. She doesn't have ear tufts of a beard either. Any ideas what kind of chicken she could be?

I already got it out. There was just a little near the opening. I'm only flushing and applying ointment once a day, but I've been considering doing it twice a day. Do you think her eye will open all the way once it's healed?

There was still a little puss in her eye, near the opening, and it was closed shut, but it's not as swollen as it was. I'm only treating it once a day. Should I switch to twice a day?
