Help!!! A coyote attacked my chickens!!!

[GermanKennhuhn]

I'm so sorry for your loss! How can people be so menacing??? You have already gotten a lot of good advice here. Have you looked through the feathers on the one that lost so many back feathers? I know you said there was no broken skin, I'm just double checking. If there is a wound it needs special attention. I hope they all come out of it okay. Especially make sure the one that's in shock is eating and drinking. I had one hen in shock after an eagle attack, and even though she wasn't personally attacked, she died 3 days later of shock. I was so busy taking care of the wounded hen that I didn't pay enough attention to her.

Thanks for the advice!! I’m quite positive that there is no injury.

Our land is up against public land, and we’ve had people wander onto our land without realizing it, and we don’t have signs up. I intend to put some up. We are pretty close to other houses, and I’m sure plenty of kids

You can also use aspirin as long as bleeding is not an issue. This article has some charts with various meds and dosing for pain. You will need to get a weight in order to accurately dose, a digital kitchen scale works well.

I'm excited to see the chart!!! I work at a vet hospital and the doc is always having me do my own calculations when I ask for help on meds my chickens, now I have a cheat sheet, because he always double checks my calculations (as I'm sure he is supposed too)

Unfortunately our rooster’s limp is way worse. He can hardly walk and definitely won’t put any weight on the foot. Could it be broken? Or is it just a bad sprain?

And the one who I thought is in shock’s breathing is sounding a little raspy now, and the one that used to have weird breathing is almost back to normal. They are all eating, but I have to encourage them to drink.

Hoping I can add on to this post. Not a Coyote but the dogs (three chickens like to roost in the lilac bush and didn’t put away - I didn’t realize when I let the dogs out back)

This lady has a throat injury. Really hoping it can be healed. I cannot really get any better pics. How can I clean this? Is she going to be ok?

Is it deep? You can clean it with vetericyn spray. You can normally but it at a feed store, or you can order it on amazon.

It doesn’t seem deep. It’s seems pretty artificial. She’s breathing fine.

If it’s not deep, she should be fine if you keep the wound clean. Does she eat and drink ok?

I have this at home. It’s for dogs..... any chance that would work?
