I agree. I was on another thread and someone suggested a vet and I kindly said that I thought it was a bad idea and I thought that if you owned chickens you should be able to cull them too. Wow talk about backlash from some! So I will say again that if you own chickens you best be able to cull or be prepared for some hefty vet bills. Oh and if my chickens pooped and layed gold I might be inclined to spend more than $200 on them! Heck I might even let em in the house!!!
Wildlife I think you need to do what you think is best and if that is saving her then go ahead. You didn't post pics so we don't really have a concrete idea on how bad it is. I think if you have your heart set on saving her and you cull her because of our advice you will second guess your decision later and that's tough. The biggest concern I think is making sure the hen is not in pain and that she will have a decent life from here on out. I don't recommend saving a chicken and letting her suffer for life because we can't let her go. I wish you the best and know that whatever you decide we will support your decision.
