She’s not moving but both her feet are responsive to my touch. She did perk up a minute ago but now she’s back i think she’s really in shock my poor girl.Even a couple of steps
were the hawks black and did they look like this?Hello please help me!!
Spent the morning outside with my girls everyone seemed fine. Came outside to find the dog standing over my barred rock she wasn’t moving. Calling the dogs off her I see she has an open wound and her skin is very yellow around it. There are also three giant hawks circling the property. We put the other girls back in our coop and I’ve got Betsy (my hurt girl) inside with me. I don’t think the dogs attacked her, it may have been the hawks and the dogs were just investigating. Has anyone ever seen a wound like this? She’s got yellow firm skin is this an infection and both the dogs and hawk not to blame? More importantly how can I treat her??
She is a 1.5 year old barred rock again completely fine earlier today we couldn’t have been inside more than 30-40 minutes. All the other birds appear fine. Any help appreciated!!!! I am thinking about just taking her to a vet but I’ve called three in my area no one treats chickens. I can post better pictures too. View attachment 1558891
