    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    I don't know how you did that, but thank you. Thought you might like to see Sassy before and after. She looks a little bit better know than that picture, it was taken a few days ago I think. Everything looks a little bit worse with the purple or blue medicine on her. Hard to tell what you...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    So, sorry I haven't updated you lately. Sassy is ALIVE!!! She is getting stronger by the day. I have pictures but can't figure out how to get the darn things loaded on here. She has found a way to drink by herself. It takes a long time for her to get a good drink but she loves when we turn...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    Yes, she was in a pen. The latch that we hook the door with was undone. Really strange, I don't know how the raccoon got her off of her perch either. We built them this nice roost to sit on and instead they sleep every night up on a wobbly piece of plywood that is probably 4 feet tall. He...

    Oh, crap, she's sick -- gasping hen

    My hen was just attacked by a coon and our vet (who is not a bird vet) told us we could use LA-200 which is used for livestock. He said 1/2 cc given intramuscularly in the breast once a day for 3 days. Our hen is standard sized, so if yours is smaller you may not want to use that much. Anyone...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    I give her a shot of LA-200 every night. The vet said 1/2cc every day for three days. I feel like she may need a another antibiotic for her eyes. It is hard to if it is just the tissue around them swelling or if there is infection in her eyes. They could just be irritated by the medicine we...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    Sassy made it through the night!!!!!!!! She even walked a bit this morning; she is really weak and wobbly though. I have been feeding her every 4 hours pedialyte, baby cereal mixed with pedialyte and giving her a little Ensure. I hope that is enough?? We're using syringes to feed her and we...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    Just went out to change my sprinkler around 8:45 and we caught the raccoon in a trap!!!! Ha, revenge! That is awful to say but I am ticked off. I won't say what I would like to do to him. I will let Darin deal with that. I don't think Sassy will make it through the night, she just seems to...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    There is not much left of her beak at all, just a tiny sliver on the top and an even tinier one on the bottom. The vet said that if the germinal layer is damaged it may not grow back. Then we are in trouble. She loves grapes and when she was feeling better yesterday I chopped some up real...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    By the way, we have three traps set to catch the culprit. No luck last night, just one really mad cat. I'm glad I found this website, everyone else thinks that we are nuts having pet chickens to begin with and even more nuts for trying to save our hen. We have really become attached to them...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    She never really bled that badly believe it or not. In fact in the shadows it was hard to tell that there was anything wrong with her. She is looking worse now though. This happened Thursday night and last night she walked from our bathroom clear into the bedroom to be near us. Now, today...

    HEN ATTACKED BY RACCOON STILL ALIVE MISSING ENTIRE BEAK-HELP

    My pet hen Sassy was attacked at 3:30 in the morning by what we assume to be a raccoon. I heard an awful sound and went to the back door and turned the porch light on and yelled. The coon was apparently scared away by this and we shortly there after found Sassy hiding by some pine trees. She...
