Thank you for the reply,
She is slightly better today
I will continue to treat her until she gives up as long as she fights I'll try with/for her too
I have suspected this breeder has mareks in her line for some time, if this hen passes she is going in for sure.
Is there anything better for...
...her back out I my sick chicken run...decided at that time to add in some antibiotics so started her on tetracycline A
She has continued downhill *damit!*
So bring her in the house soak her again this time vent is swollen & other side of her skin is ulcerating...*sigh*
I decide to start her on...

Since than I have come to find the bald eagle is teaching it's eaglet how to hunt chickens!
& yes the eagle is that big...
It's wing span is just under 4'5

Eagles will carry the food away... Hawks on the other hand... Crush it right there than eat it right there... & yes they eat all the breast first, than move on to the innards...
So it was likely a hawk, it will be back.. & sooner rather than later.. You can however hang CDs shinny tinfoil bits...
Coon...
The first thing they do is rip the head off.
Was there a trail of plucked feathers leading to the caucus?
If u still have the body put it in the trap. It will come back for the rest!
When the chicken is just gone.... It's a bird of pray, always!
Everything else leaves a trail of feathers... Coons pluck as they go, wheasel type critters usually go in at night, kill the entire flock.. Draining them of blood ripping heads off & pitting them in straight lines.
I'm dealing with...
...is likely 4 ft tall with a 10/15 foot wing span. My heart POUNDS when I see it!
I can not even imagine how my girls feel!
Onward...
5 days ago the ******* got one of my silkie Roos...
3 days ago ripped all the feathers out of my Cochins back she got away into a stall..
Today I come home...
If ur teating with a topical anti-b & you have her on something I'm or oral I wouldn't worry about bandaging if she is separated out & not bothering with it.
You do need to get her to eat & soon!
I feel that's the reason my hen just passed, I didn't get enough food into her quick enough!
If u...
I would clip all the feathers back off the area around the hole maggots only eat dead flesh..
Get a dousing syringe a big one, wrap her up on your counter & start cleaning them out. Flush the wound over & over. Get tweezers & pick em out..
Whatever means needed..
Wash with diluted hibataine...
Hi all... My beautiful Ariee didn't make it...
She pooped & then everything I had fed her just came right back up, she was barely able to open her eyes following that, she was suffering, the hardest choice ever to make.. But I loved her so it was the kindest.
I had to put her down last night...
I don't own a scale.. I'm going to have to get 1 tomorrow if she pulls through the night. she weighs nothing really. maybe a lb if she is lucky!
I'm giving her only 20-30 ml or until her croup is full, of bird formula mixed with chicken electros as soon as I feel her croup is soft its about...
Hi all... I'm looking for more answers still.. after I wormed her yesterday I thought she was doing to pass she got very weak & in fact was not able to stand.. she lost all color in her face & comb... I thought there was no way she was going to make it through the night... but she did! & now...
Omg!!! The worms she is pooping!!!! I fed her the hand formula via syringe. 15 ml
Ill never not worm or count on organic again!!
I try to be as natural as possible.. De/pumpkin ect...
If she dies from worms... Ill be so upset!
I'm waiting for her to turn a good corner here...
Anybody how long...
