I’ve always ghosted this forum because of the helpful advice people get often helps me A LOT. However, I am in the serious need of guidance and advice myself now more than ever before. Last Sunday one of our young chicks got severely injured on the back of her head, she fought very hard and she has made it to present day. However late Thursday- early Friday we noticed some swelling on the back of her head. Today it’s led to lack of balance and a lack of pep in her step. The family is torn between “it’s just healing” vs “no it’s actually an infection”
I don’t know what to do from here on out. Please any advice helps!!
We have been keeping her wound clean with iodine and a triple antibiotic (neosporin-like ointment). We make sure she eats and drinks enough and she’s pooping well. This is just our new obstacle that’s making us exponentially worried!
