Thanks again for all the support and advice.
I did manage to get her into a vet hospital the next morning and had a wonderful Dr. who specialized in farm animals. She did the best she could and at one point there was reason for optimism, even scheduling for surgery if she stabilized but sadly...
Thanks for the great info. I posted an update. Not looking good. Based on your diagram and what I can hear. It’s likely a punctured lung. It’s like she’s just sleeping but she’s breathing and a strong heart beat. She’ll wake up if I give her water.
Thank you all for the support and replies.
My initial assessment was incorrect and she does have what I think is a punctured lung. I can now hear air through the hole at the same cadence as the air I can hear her breathing through her mouth.
I missed it initially because it’s under feathers...
Hello. Earlier today a stray dog jumped our fence and attacked our three chickens.
Two are ok and uninjured but the third is wounded and not sure she’ll make it.
She’s had all her back feathers torn out and has three puncture wounds, one of them quite deep.
She’s not bleeding, I have cleaned...
