    Fox attack on our 7 week old chick - warning: image included

    We came home after picking up the kids, there was flash flooding and we found one of our babies had been attacked. They have been perching on the coop by the pen’s fence, so my guess is it was attacked through the fence We have heard iodine? What else can we do? I noticed an exposed bone...
