Believe it or not you can use a product they make for cows. Bag Balm/udder cream is a vaseline based medicated salve that sooths and heals pecking wounds. Easy to get at any feed store and has an added benefit of softening the hands that apply it. You can also use Polysporin or Bactine.

Minimum preferred space on a roost for each chicken is 18 inches. Less than this amount of space promotes feather pecking and fighting among the flock.
Keep watching and see when your chicken is back to normal. Keep it quarantined for about a week longer, then place it back with the other chickens. If your chicken appears ill again, remove it right away. A sick chicken will most likely be picked on by the others, especially those on the top of the pecking order, and get the others sick.
Don't do it your self take the animal to the vet nearest to you. good day.
first wrap it up in a towel then take it to the vet bye bye.

We have found if you use vaseline and push them back in, the chicken should survive.
stops the chicken dry from the rain and shows distinction in the pecking order for them
That would be a slang-y Southern American saying. "Chicken a-pecking" just refers to a chicken pecking around on the ground, looking for food. "Don't that beat" is the phrase that Southerners use to mean "Isn't that a surprising fact," so the whole phrase is just a way of saying "My, you have said something surprising."
Because they are molting or they are at the bottom of the pecking order and I would take them out of the flock but then after they return the flock will treat it badly and the pecking order will change and it might be messy.
Pecking is often seen in chickens; the one doing the pecking is saying "I'm the boss over you"; every chicken flock will have an established "pecking order" with the strongest that the top and the weakest at the bottom.
Chicken Treat was created in 1974.
If your ferret will eat chicken, as a treat it is acceptableAs a treat, ferrets can have small amounts of chicken
Yes you can, depending on the age and personality of the new chicken- if it is younger and more docile, then the other four might bully it and it will become the bottom of the pecking order, but if it more aggressive then the others will soon forgot that the new chicken wasn't there the whole time and treat new chicken as their boss :) hope this helps!!
Pecking order in a flock is an instinctive behavior related to social order. It is also an example of natural selection.

Treat the wound as any other puncture wound.
