One of my girls had a run in with a dog today, and I'm feeling pretty rotten. I am pretty shocked she's still alive. She's in a lot of shock, too.
She's resting in a cat carrier behind me now. I treated her wounds with a home-made saline solution and neosporin. Now I guess I just wait, and pray for the best. She has food and water, but has only taken a couple little drinks when I held the water up to her beak. She's not interested in eating, and she's barely moving. She has just now lay down after standing up all evening.
I guess I could do with a little optimism. Have you had any hens live happily ever after? Anything else I should do?
