I was away but my pet sitter said a huge raccoon got in the coop around midnight last night. It killed two of my chicks, including Lucy who was supposed to be an easter egger but started growing a puff on her head a few weeks ago and was looking a lot like a Polish. Anyway, she was really special to me. My last remaining chick is an Australorp, about 7 weeks old and is in a box in the bathroom. She is sleeping a lot and she doesn't look too good, but I can't see any injuries. Is there anything I can do to help her or just wait and see how it goes?
They had only been out of the brooder for about a week, so I feel terrible that I had put them in an obviously unsafe coop. My kids are very sad, and so am I. Here is a picture of Lucy. I was going to post it to ask if anyone could tell what breed she was, but I guess it doesn't matter much now. *sniff sniff*
