Hello, I have been watching this forum for a long time but only today I have decided to create an account since I don't know what has happened to a chicken.
Today a predator (either a hawk or fox) has attacked my mother's chickens and ducks, it took one duck with no trace and injured a chicken that I have found laying on it's side kicking its legs constantly and not standing up. I have separated it from the flock and put it inside a box and given it food and water which he doesn't consume.
I have tried to look for a wound myself but the chicken constantly kept kicking its legs and couldn't get a good view, the wound seems to be very small. My brother says that it's somewhere around the vent area upwards or downwards, I have inspected him and it started screeching when touching it downwards in the middle near the thighs and felt something wet.
I have dealt with other post-predator attacks where one chicken has been hit in the head twice and went in shock but it's still is alive today, just not this kind of thing. I have no what is wrong with him.
I will soon upload a image of the chicken from my phone.
For reference he is 4 weeks
