We have 9 chickens in a small coop in our back yard. Recently one of them got bumble foot and we had her euthinized today. Then, last night we noticed another one losing coordination on her foot. She got bumblefoot. Today, we went in back to check on them and the chickens were eating her alive. Her whole head is flesh. She is still breathing, what can we do? Is there any hope for her or do we need to kill her? help please!!
