Coyote attack! Need advice!

You are a good person, love has many faces. I just don't want you to fall into the same trap that I did. Little baby chicks, to teen pullets to adult hens. So much love they have shown. My flock so far has cost me 12,000$ in total. Yes trapped! Yep... Fanatic!

Oh boy. I’m just getting started and I’ve already spent about $2000. Bout to spend more to make the pen bigger since I can’t bear to let them free range any more :/

Do you have any pictures of the wound?

Not yet. It was dark by the time I got out there to lock the pen up for the night and I needed my phone for the flashlight. I’ll get a pic in the morning in the daylight after I rinse her off.

My boyfriend has tried to get them the last 3 years cause they are messing with his deer hunting but they’re tricky critters to hunt I guess. I would have hit it with my car if it wasn’t for that darn corn field.

New run, covered, and buried at least 2 ft outward to stop flying and digging predators. My yard is a fortrace. But remember "finatic"

It's not ridiculous to care about your chickens. Or your dog, cat, lizard, bird, pet rat, snake or what have you. Our hearts are made to love, and when we do, usually we don't love just a little bit. That's not what love is. We get it.

I have used peroxide on wounds (only for the first few days) then just watch her. Make she they are getting plenty of protein!! That is how she will heal. There are sprays you can get too. If there is a lot of blood you may have to cover it up because red catches a chickens eye and the other may make it worse by pecking. Chickens are very hardy and I have seen a few jump back when I was ready to put them down. Watch her demeanor .. is she herself? eating? moving around? interested in scratching around still?

Only the Roostet knows for sure! Why did I just say that?
