Driving my sister to school this morning I saw something black laying on the side of the road. On the way back I slowed down to look and it lifted its head to stare at me. It was a chicken! So I went home, grabbed a towel and a cat carrier and went back and swooped her up.
She has fight left in her, she'll struggle if I touch her wrong, but she's exhausted. I don't know how long she was on the side of the road. Her legs don't seem broken but she has some bad road rash on the side of her head and her wings are drooping. I don't know if they're broken or she has brain damage now. Currently she's laying on her side looking pretty dead until I touch her.
I'm giving her half an hour in a dark warm box to decide if she wants to live or die. If she decides to live I'm going to try and patch her up. Any suggestions of how to do this without traumatizing her more?
