I heard the chickens freaking out today and ran outside to see a hawk flying away from some bushes. My 4 month old asil was lying face down beneath the bushes with his legs stretched out behind him. His mouth was open with blood in his beak. I brought him inside and cleaned him off, it took at least 10 minutes for him to "wake up" and start sqwaking and struggling.
I checked his whole body and can't find any injury anywhere, so I assume his injuries must be internal. He won't eat or drink, and keeps closing his eyes like he's in pain. I'm afraid that if I handle him I will make his injuries worse. He goes into a loud, constant sqwaking if I touch him.
Is there anything that can be done for internal injuries? If not, should I cull him to spare him a slow and painful death?
