    Attacked by Coons, I don't know what to do now

    Attacked by Coons, I don't know what to do now

    They are 4weeks old. There was no change this morning. The foot is still very blackish purple and limp. When I pick her up to clean it, the foot just flops around. It smells really bad. I'm thinking that one won't make it. The other one is doing fine. We have caught and killed two coons so far.

    Attacked by Coons, I don't know what to do now

    Both chickens survived the night. They are both eating some and drinking. We also added some painkiller to the water. The worse one's foot has now turned completely purple. Otherwise they both appear no worse and no better than yesterday.

One might make it, but I don't know about the other one. It is exposed down to the bone. What should I do with it...
