One of my chickens was attacked 2 days ago by an eagle. She is still able to move, eat, drink, and has even laid eggs the last 2 days. However with the severity/ appearance of her injuries, I don’t know if I should put her down. Her breathing seems labored at times and she seems to shiver (not surprising with the feather loss) I added a light to shine through a towel in the kennel. I didn’t want direct light on her and wanted to keep it dark. I’ve been using Vetericyn on the wounds. She does have exposed meat in one area. I want to do the humane thing but if she can survive this, would be wonderful. We already lost a chicken this week to a neighbor dog busting through the fence. Thanks for any advice. People in my local FB group said they’ve had chickens recover from attacks like this.
good luck! It’s possible for her to make it and live a happy, rest of her life, so best of luck to you and your hen!!
