While driving my husband to work this morning at 5 a.m., after I dropped him off, (of course) as I was heading back home I saw a chicken on the side of the road. Stopped and she is obviously a meat bird, I am going to assume fell off a transport truck ???
I wrapped a towel around her and brought her home.
She has stretched out her wings and folding them back in while I moved her into a large box. (so not even sure about legs and wings for sure yet)... biggest 1st concern is there is no feathers, or skin under her. You can see flesh... I am not sure if that is from the factory she came from or from falling off a truck. There were not many feathers on the road where I found her.
Even if nothing is broke on her... can she heal enough to be ok with flesh exposed, or should I just put her out of her misery?
Right now she is loosely wrapped up in a towel and she closed her eyes when I put her in a dark room. She looks to be sleeping peacefully...
Thanks for any advice
