How I Saved My Chicken After A Hawk Attack *GRAPHIC WOUND PICS*

[BackyardFarmMom]

She started laying eggs just recently too!!! I think she will be a good layer come spring!!!

Hers is the green/blue egg!!!

Amazing! How did the hawk get her?

I had left all the chickens out... They were in thier run... but not locked in their enclosed run.
I guess she was the easiest target
Since then I have made little shelters all over the run. If I see a hawk fly over, they are locked up right away and have to stay in the enclosed run unless I am outside with them.

This post gives me hope. My Saltan was attacked yesterday. Her wounds seem to be much deeper (in the same area of the neck) and I almost put her down but She is doing okay today and drinking.

I hope she can recover too!

I had some really rough roosters last fall and they tore the back of my BRs head open. I left her alone and it healed up really good. She has a funny skin tag on the back of her head, but it just gives her more personallity.

They can bounce back pretty well from traumatic events... amazing!

Keep us updated!
