She is still alert and eating and drinking. I placed splints on her feet and she left them there for two days. I noticed them in the corner of the crate this evening. I will replace them tomorrow as her toes are still curling inward some. It isn't as severe as it was, though. The wounds on...

Thank you " Chickensnewtome" and "Ten Chicks" for problem solving with me. I am going to check her range of motion and utilize the epsom salt soak. Increasing her protein intake and placing splints shouldn't hurt, either. Since she is alert and eating/drinking, I think I owe it to her to...

The above picture (graphic - sorry) is of the wound she sustained from the hawk.

Petunia (maran) was in very good health before attact and no mobility issues prior to this. Currently, she is eating and drinking some. I wondered if it was a response to pain or nerve damage of some sort; however, I have only had a flock for a little over one year. ( This is my first...

I certainly will keep you posted and I appreciate your input very much. I think Atwoods has the game feed in smaller bags and it is within fifteen minutes of my house. My bunch is certainly rooting for her to overcome this! Thanks again, Chickensnewtome!

She is alert and she will eat and drink thankfully because she certainly took quite a blow on the back of her head and neck. She doesnt unfurl her toes or bear any weight on either of them. :-( I will increase her protein by purchasing some gamebird feed and I can make splints as well. See...

I will get some game feed today and I can also make a splint. Pictures are coming to ease with diagnosis. :-) Thanks.

Hello to you as well and thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. She is on a standard layer pellet from the feed store; however, I am willing to try a different feed if that is the issue. I was worried that, perhaps, while trying to make brunch of my bird that the hawk damaged some...

Hello - My lovely and sweet maran was attacked by a hawk three days ago. She sustained wounds on the back of her head and down the back of her neck. Currently, she is being housed in dog crate away from the rest of the flock. Her wounds seem to be responding to treatment and she has been...

I have a five week old Silver Spangled Hamburg Cockerel that needs a home. I can't have roosters in my country subdivision or I would keep him.:-). He is feathering out beautifully and his rose comb is coming in nicely. I live in the Cabot area, but will meet someone if needed . Pictures upon...

I have six lovely ladies and I, too, am awaiting the "first egg." My girls consist of two BSL's, on RSL, on Production Red (I think;-), and two OEGB's. They are 17 weeks old and one of my BSL's has a very red waddle and her comb is dark pink verging on red; therefore, I am hoping she is close...
