Chirping
So, this morning I went out to the barn to find any poultry keepers worst nightmare - a dead duck and two injured. All of my chickens (who stay in the second story) were okay, thankfully. A weasel is the culprit - I had the little monster cornered in the barn! However, I had nothing to kill it with and it escaped
My two Black Sweds who have neck injuries are the concern now, until hubby can get home and track the weasel down. Both are making a little bit of noise, moving about, and are drinking; however, they both have their necks hunched and are moving rather slowly. I was able to wash them off in the tub, but they wouldn't let me feel around on their necks too much. They also don't seem to be trying to dry off either - it's a really rainy day here in Michigan, on top of the bath, they're pretty wet. I've currently moved them into a large dog crate in the garage, but I'm not sure what to do from here! Please, help!
This is how the two are holding their heads.
