Hi, I should of given a update. Yes she is fine, her wound has completely healed and the feathers are back, she's laying and everything! What I did with her was fed her scrambled egg every other day for a week, due to work I only fed her in the evening and she prob didn't even eat as much as a...

Yeah she's not too tame so she won't really eat from a hand. I have waved my hand in her face and she does duck out of the way. I gave her egg today but she just seems to of taken one mouthful then spat it in her food. Not sure whether to keep her alive for much longer. Apart from eating she's...

Ok, update on the fox attacked chock! She is now outside as of last night and she desperately wants to eat. However she goes to peck at the food and no matter what the height of the food she just can't seem to reach it. Bizarre! Has anyone got and ideas? I'm totally confused this time! I do have...

Thanks, I really thought she would be at least a little bit better by now! She might be coming to the end of the road :(

Thanks very much, so a supplement is what MIGHT do the trick. She's not interested in anything. She just had a slurp of olive oil off a spoon as I read that's good, but again not sure. I even have to clean her bum because she doesn't have the energy to move when she poos (which is only twice in...

Chooks not crooks!

Yes the fox bit a chunk out of her back. This is healing great and looks really good, i sprayed it with purple spray and it worked a treat. I don't really want to go down the vet route, I love my crooks but I still don't want to spend a fortune on them! Do you know what electrolytes are, I keep...

What are electrolytes? I think my chock might need this! And where can. Buy it? Thanks.

My chicken is STILL not eating! I'm not sure what to do. Is there any home made medicine or anything I can give her???

Hi, I have another thread on here about my fox attack! Following the fox attack 9 days ago my chicken still isn't eating. She is drinking. I do force feed her egg, yoghurt and oats but she just spits the outs out and won't willingly eat. She is very weak and sleeps all the time only walking to...

Update on the chook! She is still alive and drinking but only eating when I force feed her. She doesn't seem to have great balance so I'm wondering if I'm fighting a loosing battle! Fox has just been back for seconds so we e just sent the dogs out on him. It was a huge fox too.

Yes she is drinking, I think this is why she is still alive. She can walk but she sleeps all the time so doesnt walk about. No sign of the fox but it did kill my chickens and a wild rabbit. I think it's because of the flood water so mr fox was starving it ate one chicken in the pen and took one...

Yes I agree, I am waiting til Sunday and if she's no better I will get the farmer to put her down. I used to have two lambs and one had maggots eating her tail a d the farmer sprayed her with purple spray. I asked him about wounds and he said it shouldn't matter how deep they are because it's...

The reason I'm not so worried about the wound is because I have this purple antibacterial spray which I've sprayed on and it's looking very good. You can get it from countrywide it's actually for livestock but is doing a great job. I didn't clean it, I just sprayed it on -that's what a farmer...

I've just tried more yoghurt she seems to be eating that but it's literally a fingernail size amount. I will try egg but she seems to be having problems with solid food. How long can they live with no food? I hope she survives, it's become a bit of a mission now. My house is very cold (like 12c)...

This is my first time on any forum so be kind! Anyway on Sunday it's now Thursday my chickens got attacked by a fox it killed 5 but one was still alive. I went to feed them in the morning, noticed the feathers so I just left the shed for my BF to sort out later, 15 hours later we found the...
