Thank you! Your support has been so encouraging and greatly appreciated. Eloise is a sad loss, she was full of personality and smart… seeing Bessie doing so well makes me very happy though, as does my mission to cut down on predators. ;)

I caught one raccoon!! I’m sure there are more…. But at least I’m ready. Update on Bessie she is doing really good in chicken ICU. She is even picking clover from the stems now which is great! At first I was picking them off for her. She is laying her eggs, and now it just waiting game till...

She laid one today too… and I even caught her standing on her bad leg for a short period! My imagination needs help here…. How do you do pills for birds and know they are eating it lol. Definitely will tell him, because he isn’t familiar with birds but was going to research when he could. So...

Oops I meant I have a family friend that is a vet but not avian…. However he could write a script if that’s needed.. yes I have access to pharmacy and I’m curious why they gave me the blu kote. Doesn’t matter, I have Neosporin and get more…. She is getting a combo of laying feed and scratch… I...

Do I need a vet for aqua mox?? If

What is the chlorhexidine? I hadn’t seen your comment either until just now. Thank you!

And I have not yet checked the wounds today. As of yesterday they looked surprisingly pretty well, with exception to her leg being swollen and it seemed to feel hotter than the other but I would think that is to be expected…. Flies aren’t bad otherwise I would bring her inside, and I have...

On a Sunday in a small town this was the only thing I could find…. I’m trying to use pee pads to keep her area sanitary, but you can see how well that is going…. Underneath the pee pad is some of the coop clean and I’m not sure if she is trying to get to that or not…. And she eats buts makes a...

I don’t have the topical I was told to use with me at the moment but will take a photo…. Her wound was pretty clean, but I wasn’t sure how to clean with the saline… if should of been everything, under surrounding skin? So I put this topical on it…. If I’m still able to do the cleaning I...

I really am desperate for advice on how to treat my hen…. She is a favorite, if there is a chance it might heal I am willing to do the work

After seeing the photos… do you think she could recover or is it better that I put her down? I simply do not know what to do….

You are correct, it’s definitely a predator based off the photos I took and getting a better look at her. As for her care I am at a loss at what is best to do…. As far as catching the predator I have what is needed.

Also, no I am not sure it was another hen…. She has always been higher up on the pecking order, very confident…. This just took me by surprise…. You would think it would be one of the sussex it it was bird ranking issues.

I will do another exam of her leg and beak and get photos…. Thank you so much for responding. I have friend who gave me the brahmas who thought it sounded like a predator as well… I just figured because if the set up that of been impossible to do that much damage.

I have a blue laced barnevelder that was surprisingly attacked either early this morning or at night….. and I do believe it was by another hen. Her beak is injured up high but not completely broken… in fact she can eat and drink, whew….. but she won’t put weight on her leg and that is we’re all...
