This was her immediately after I took the Ck out.

This is the Ck that caused the damage to the hen in Blackpool. Now alive and well in Tipperary, but only just !!

That's cheatin you've made a Pro box lolol.....cracking shape about him ðŸ‘

Today's pic is of a Jan Theelen Ck from the Dutch breeding station... he is sire to 2nd club Kettering 240mls and 1st club Billericay 365mls.

Thanks Peter, al ask about the Jel too when I'm in. Am I right in thinking you would "bandage" the eyes by securing the lint in place or is it just to apply the Vaseline/Ountment ? Apologies for delayed response I'm out playing (use the term Very loosely) pool and no in tae near midnight.

Al be in every chemist in the place tomorrow, ðŸ‘

Thanks for all yer comments/advice guys, will get something made into paste and use the syringe to get it into her. Hand feeding peas/tares/beans is keeping her going but it's clearly not enough and the pain where scalped must be horrendous on her. Mossgiel the gentian violet was a Fav of my Da's but I've no seen it for ages, any ideas where I can source it quickly ? Cheers

Got a serious problem with a hen who was just bought at Blackpool. Long story short she was put into a basket with another hen and Ck. The other 2 paired and the Ck turned on this hen, scalped her and left her with torn eyelids. The eyelids welded together and she has deteriorated as the week has gone on. She is being hand fed and watered but I feel she needs more sustainance than I am able to get into her. Have bathed her eyes with tepid water every day but have made no progress opening them. Tonight I applied Golden Eye ointment to her eyes and Fed and watered her. Feeding her by hand but opening her beak and putting food in her is breaking the skin where she has been scalped which must be very painful. I desperately want to save this hen!!! So ANY ideas othr than what I am doing on how to get her eyes opened and more food/nutrients into her will be Very welcome. All criticisms will be taken on the chin as I am 100% responsible for not taking time to think of the consequences of 2 hens and one Ck in the same space. :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Sun low in the sky with a southerly facing loft is a great time of year for taking their pics Pat.

Another bit of colour today. 2015 Ck bred by Jimmy McMillan of Blantyre. Raced to Billericay last year, channel for him this year all going well.

Bassa keeps putting the hen oot his box, run them in the corridor, locked in the box for 6 days, let oot the gither but every time she goes tae the box he's put her oot :emoticon-0179-headbang:

Lookin great Cem 👠Would have any of them off ye.
