I found my sweet black copper Maran hen outside with a bunch of her feathers and skin gone. The only thing beside her was some string so I'm thinking maybe she was tangled in it but I'm not sure as there's also an odd bump on her back. She also won't put any weight on her opposite foot. As far as I know my coop is predator proof and none of the other birds were hurt . It happened sometime between when I opened the run for the morning and about two in the afternoon. I've been giving her aspirin for pain and stress relief electrolytes I'm treating the wound with the culmination of a burn cream and Vetericyn spray. She is eating on her own as long as I hold her up. My question:
1) what other treatment(s) would you recommend. I work from home and have lots of time to commit to her
2) I know it's a personal choice but based on the pics and her behaviour, do you think it's more humane to put her down?
First two pics are her as soon as I found her. Second two are today
