    Injured rooster

    So my rooster got attacked by a fox a couple days back. He’s still alive and I’ve put blue spray over all the bite marks. I’m feeding him by hand and he’s taking the food but not doing anything himself. He’s not holding his head up. My main question is, do I carry on with the love and care...

    We live in town, and have pampered, played with, and loved two large white pekin ducks for over 2 years. Yesterday two foxes (never saw foxes in town before) got one of them. We used my son’s bb-gun and chased them away but I know they will come back now that they found a food source. What do I...

    Four days ago, my husband had found that one of our free-ranging chickens, who we have had for over 6 months, had been attacked by a fox. The fox was small and took our smallest chicken. The fox must have been scared off by our neighbors dogs, because the fox left our little lady in a pile of...

    This is Milky, she was attacked by a fox yesterday. We got to her just in time, and the wound doesn’t seem to have gone deeper than skin and we cleaned the wound out already.

    Fox attack recovery—what more to do & likelihood of survival?

    At 8:30 AM a fox attacked my four chickens while I was sitting ten feet away. I was able to run after it and scare it off, but it still managed to injure my one-year-old Easter Egger. I couldn’t find her for six hours and I honestly thought she was toast. She’s partially blind and needs a lot of...
