Yesterday my friends brought their dogs over. I have a trio of 10 week old pullets that hang out together and when I went to put them up I couldnt find them. I figured they had gone into the briers and would see the dogs and not come in the fence.
I was wrong
My GSD, Rudi, was inside while her two boxers were out using the potty. Rudi started freaking out at the back glass door. My friend and I jumped up to see what was going on and her dogs had one of my pullets in their mouth tossing it around!
We ran outside and chased the one dog forever trying to get it to drop the chicken and when it finally did there was a bone popping out. We originally thought that it was coming from the neck and it was still breathing so I told her SHE had to finish the poor thing off since it was her doing. She started to ball and I didnt feel the least bit bad. I told her her dog did it and Im not going to be punished by putting my own chicken down.
Well when we got to lookin at it it was its wing bone snapped in half and hanging there. It was sticking out a good inch or more.
Well I figured Im not gonna kill it its still up moving around..
I got the best thing I had to cut it off which was a huge kitchen knife. I had her hold it down and I spread the wing and cut the tendons it was hanging by and then took a pair of scissors and cut back the bone.
Then I took a thick sock cut it in half to slip around the pullets body and soak up the blood and keep stuff out. Then I took a wife beater cut the bottom of it to make shift a wrap and wrapped it all the way around several times.
This all happend around 5 yesterday and the little girl is still alive. She ate this morning but just stands there with her eyes closed. Shes so off balance. When she dozes she falls to one side. Im so sad to see her like this. My friends dogs are to be tied out to the trees in the front yard if they are to come over again.
But anyways...
What are her odds of surviving being a one winged chicken for the rest of her life?
What should I do for her?
Should I leave everything off so it can get some air or keep on with my make poop bandaids?
sorry the pics arent the greatest..
