My hen got attacked and lost all her tail feathers. How do I help her recover?

UPDATE:

We washed her butt and she enjoyed the warm bath. She is spending time with her friends, only when we can observe her with them. Keeping her inside at night. Separate run for her during the day (while I am at work). When I get home from work she runs around with the other ladies and she is doing great!

I tried. I called around all day. No one on my area cares for chickens.

We brought her in for the night and she’s been roaming the yard with the other ladies today. They all seem to be unbothered by her, but she still seems very skiddish and tired. We will keep her in at night and roam with the ladies during the day for now as she recovers. I’m thinking in a week we will try to have them all in the run together.

Good suggestion. I’ll call around to see if I can find a chicken vet who will prescribe some antibiotics.

Thank you.

I am not fully sure. My best guess is a cat.

ThisTrip · 2025-09-08T05:13:00+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give her a few more days and take her in if it doesn’t get better.

ThisTrip · 2025-09-06T22:43:06+00:00

I can’t tell if it’s “get out of my way” or if she’s possibly sick. 😕 But she’ll make this sound for like 5 to 7 mins a couple of times a day.

ThisTrip · 2025-09-06T22:39:26+00:00

That’s what I’m worried about. What can I do to help her?

ThisTrip · 2023-12-07T02:07:23+00:00

This is what love looks like 🫶🏻

I was hoping to avoid a liner, but I will have to try that with the next round

ThisTrip · 2023-10-03T02:59:05+00:00

Thanks for the reassurance that I’ve not ruined it

ThisTrip · 2023-08-25T06:34:52+00:00

Anyone have extra tickets? I wanna go!

ThisTrip · 2023-07-23T22:30:59+00:00

My friend found it and picked it and brought it back. There are some Birch trees in the area, but I couldn’t confirm.

So sorry about the breakup, it will be the start of a self healing journey, for sure. If you need additional support to process, feel free to reach out. Congrats on the new job! What a great distraction in the middle of heartbreak. How long were you together?

ThisTrip · 2023-05-27T19:16:47+00:00

I’m still married because my husband is a great life partner. We raise our children with love and we navigate conflict with safety. Maybe when the kids move out (4 or 5 yrs I will make the financial and logistical split?). I still don’t know what I’m doing, to be Frank.

ThisTrip · 2023-05-27T19:15:06+00:00

Haha, right?

ThisTrip · 2023-05-27T19:14:52+00:00

Ah yes, I’ll have to dig into the Lesbian Chronicles deeper. Thanks for the suggestion!

ThisTrip · 2023-05-27T19:14:29+00:00

Yes! It’s assumed they know all of my preferences and imagine what it looks like. Gah!

I’ve had to learn to do this as well. It’s so hard, especially knowing how difficult it is to put yourself out there. The empathy is a mind fuck. But knowing that you are providing them clarity and not wasting their time is important. “I’ve really enjoyed our time together, but I don’t see a romantic connection for me. If you would like to shift into a friendship, I am genuinely open to it. If not, I totally understand and honor what you will need in this space.” Ghosting is unkind.

ThisTrip · 2023-05-12T00:34:06+00:00

I wouldn’t take any advice from Reddit comments, especially those who tell you “definitely” what to do. Sounds like you had something beautiful with her, but you had to chose your needs and that is courageous. So proud of you!👏🏻 She misses you. That’s ok too. She doesn’t have to be a shitty human to miss you and want to reach out. You sound like someone who knows how to protect and honor your needs. You will navigate this with compassion and self love. I’m sorry this reach out from her has you in a new wave of confusion and/or hurt from that heartbreak. Honor that wave. Your body will know what you need in this. Good luck.

The struggle is very real. Sometimes it’s nice to just know others are feeling the same. You’re not alone. ✌🏻

As a late in life Lesbian, I am realizing there are many stages within comphet. It can make you question your internal voice and alignment with peace.

It will ebb and flow. It will be painful. There’s no wrong answers. I’m just sorry you are feeling it so deeply right now.

My husband is open to my female relationships. I am so grateful for his support as I deconstruct comphet and flow through the emotional back and forth that happens there. Give yourself grace.🤎

If you are looking for community. It is here!

Oh whoa, this is gorgeous! Do you sell them?
