    Turkey hen attacked by fox

    It’s day 4, and she’s still here. :) She’s sleeping a lot but I know that’s apart of healing. It doesn’t seem like lethargy sleepiness, just exhaustion. Redressed her wounds today and she’s drinking a lot more than she had been. Her wounds are still pretty gnarly, but she seems to want to fight...

    Turkey hen attacked by fox

    She did not enjoy being re-cleaned, but I managed to get any remaining debris I could see from out and I used some diluted iodine to apply after I did. The smell wasn’t as apparent.

    Turkey hen attacked by fox

    I’ve been very attentive with her when it comes to insects. Doing everything I can to prevent them from getting on her, especially ants! As for gauze, I am not sure I can wrap half her wounds. :( I heard it’s better for birds to not wrap them but I’ll see what I can do! I’m currently heading to...

    Turkey hen attacked by fox

    Graphic Images Ahead! Hi guys!! I’m looking for advice amongst more experienced poultry owners, but yesterday our hen was attacked by a fox. It was too early in the morning for me to really understand what was happening before I got my rifle and scared the fox off with a warning shot. I...
