I had a bad fox attack on Thursday morning as an owl watched. Three hens with puncture wounds (bites) are now in the house. I sprayed their wounds with bactine! Two are eating, drinking, interacting with me, recovering. One is not. I lifted her out of her cage this morning to take another look - she spends a lot of time lying on her uninjured side. I thought maybe I had missed a wound. She has one bite under her left wing. When I looked at her belly - it is green on that side and warmer to the touch than the other side. Not many feathers on her belly, and it's not the skin that's green, it's green on the inside. I'm thinking - infection? punctured intestine? Do I put her down? How? Ideas?
