It’s a fact of life that
chickens don’t always stay in their cage. Unfortunately, when they get out of
their cage they may suffer an unpleasant encounter that leads to an injury.
Here is Mrs. RW’s chicken repair tip.
Repairing a chicken isn’t
too hard if the injury is not too significant and the damage is fairly slight.
One of the first things you need to do is separate the injured chicken from the
main coop. A small dog cage works well for this purpose. This keeps the other
chickens from pecking at the injury and causing further damage which will slow
the healing process. They will also need to be brought into a more controlled
environment to avoid them stressing out due to temperature changes or other weather-related
events.
You also need to make sure
they have sufficient food to eat and clean water to drink. You will also need
to add vitamins and electrolytes to their diet to help speed the healing
process. This usually comes in a water-soluble powder that can be mixed into
their drinking water. A small bottle of this powder goes a long way and the
electrolytes can be used to help speed up the healing process of your injured
chicken.
