Emergency!

I just had a dog attack. It killed two of my hens and injured one severely. Her entrails are outside her body. They look to be intact, but I am extremely wary of pushing them back in because of infection. How likely is it that this hen can make it? Should I just put her out of her misery?

Not very likely she's going to survive with those injuries.

Thank you for your reply. I don't think so either, but just wanted a confirmation before dispatching her. Dog attacks are the worst! At least wild animals run away when you yell at them. Dogs just keep mauling your birds without a care. Ugh!

Sorry for your loss, but I would probably put her down.
