Holy cow, that looks nasty.
I agree; it is amazing how fast hens heal from open wounds.
We have Vetracyn (sp?) that we spray on wounds. Is Blukote similar?
Vetericyn is basically water, bleach, salts and baking soda.
Blu-Kote is gentian violet, salts, lye, alcohol and coal tar.
Thank-you Windwalkingwolf; I saved that information.

Morning,
I have a single guinea hen in with them, she's the culprit, have a friend coming by this morning to take it to home to their flock of Guinea's, guessing it was bored and/or not enough space for everyone, now the fun part trying to catch it

That makes more sense then the rooster because it looked nasty and deliberate.
I haven't had the guinea hens go after the chickens but I had a guinea male , go after them every chance he got.
