Natural remedies for wounded chicken

Posted By Amelia (Victor, Id) on 08/30/2010

I am looking for any natural remedies for my chicken. She was attacked by a friend's dog a few days ago. She is missing skin and feathers on her back and under one of her wings. She didn't bleed. I had been pouring alcohol and witch hazel on her. I also put some aloe vera on her. She is eating a little. And still alert. Any ideas?

This reply is to Amelia. I know this is a little late, but maybe someone else can be helped by this. I had a chicken that got tore up on its behind by a fox or something, and I had been using powdered goldenseal root on my baby's umbilical cord, which worked, and I took some and poured it on the chicken's wound, and sure enought it stopped the mess and healed the wound and it did not get infected. It works great on open wounds.
