Anyone have luck catching a feral chicken?? UPDATE: Rooster caught, no hen

Well $163 later.... it's a massive hot spot. Got a shot of antibiotics, antibiotics to take, a wash solution, and spray to use.

It took 3 of us to shave her neck. We still couldn't get it all. I'm hoping in a day or two the spot won't be as bad and I'll try to trim the fur some more.

Vet said with how thick her coat is the bacteria traveled super fast and made it impossible for me to see.

I'd get a picture but she's currently hiding from me.

:barnieOi Vey!
 
I cannot say eeewww. My birds will catch and eat mice and even the occasional squirrel.
I refuse to try and take it away. If the other hens cannot catch the prize carrier what on Earth would make me think I could.

Funny story..... The first time hubby saw one with a mouse he asked me "Well aren't you going to take it away?". Um no. I don't want to fall on my but chasing her.
That is hilarious!!!
Well it's off to the vet for me and the dog. :( Her neck looks fluid filled to me. I can't get a better look at. She freaks out when I walk towards her. I feel terrible. Poor girl.
Hope it goes well. Heck, you might be back by now. I am catching up.

Poor thing.
 
Cover up cake, with cutout decorations. Technically, it really is cheating.

That's money well spent honestly.
So glad you took her!
The injectible antibiotic will really give you a jump start on the infection.
