    As best I can determine the punctures are all north/south, really on her back. I'll examine her again after she rests a bit from the treatment. I didn't even think of broken ribs, how would I check for that? She can hold her head up and walk.

    Pullet attacked by dog, skin peeled off back and several punctures - save or euthanize?

    Should i try to save her, or is her suffering too great? One of my 3 month old pullets, a speckled Sussex, escaped her enclosure and landed in the jaws of my farm dog. He had her for a while before I went out and discovered the situation. All back feathers ripped out, sections of epidermis torn...

    Another year full of cockerels....

    I have never had a roo since 014 when I started buying sexed chickens from My Pet Chicken, day old hatchlings, NOT auto-sexing. Have never received a male! I have 18 hens now, every one a different breed (because Allah loves wondrous variety :)).

    URGENT baby chick scalped, how to treat

    Thanks for the additional info. Very pleased to say she's eating, drinking and moving a bit, in a crate inside the house. If I need to use Betadine, do you pour it over the wound, or maybe use a syringe, or cotton swabs?

The temps here average 90 JulyAug, but the humidity is extreme - heat index in high 90s. Ok to move them out, or wait til September? Or...

    Egg bound hen - help her pass on?

    No, I've never had a lash egg. How would I know the difference if she hasn't passed it?
