So I went to let my chickens out this morning, from what we thought was a pretty secure coop. It was then that we discovered there had been an attack. A bear (based on the footprints left behind) had torn open the door, actually ripping the wood apart!
We lost one chicken and one other has been injured. I guess it could have been much worse, but I'm worried about our little Lucy.
I've attached pictures to help depict her injuries, but basically her comb is ripped 1/2 off and just hanging on. She appears to be ok otherwise, and is eating and drinking, but she keeps trying to "shake off" the hanging part of her comb.
Any advice on how to handle this would be appreciated!
