Hello,
Long story, on short father in law came over while I was at work with his dog which has attacked our barred rock.
The chicken is now safe in the coop/small run, mainly hiding in the corner. She did walk around a when I came in there and didn't seem obviously distressed/unwell.
Given the injury I'm wondering what the best and kindest thing to do is. The wound is clean with nil active bleeding.
- put her down
- see how she does and if distressed put her down
- other ideas?
An expensive trip to the vet isn't an option.
