I Like Turkeys
Crowing
Yesterday while I was not home, two of my hens were attacked by dogs, and both suffered bite wounds to the neck. One passed away last night from her injuries after I found her, but the other is still alive.
the remaining hen is walking, eating, drinking, scratching around, and even laid an egg today. She seems fine, but a bit slower than usual, and one shoulder/wing hangs a bit lower.
what concerns me the most is the puncture wounds. She has a massive one on her neck. The flesh below is revealed, and I am worried it will become infected, or simply won’t heal. I have wound spray I can spray onto her wounds, but is there anything else I can or should do to help her?
I’ve attached photos of her injuries.
