*HELP* predator attack

[jllracer55]

Is my poor hen a lost cost post racoon attack.. her head looks bad poor thing, alert images are graphic.. shes still moving and breathing and just got up and walked but not sure the full extent of her injuries and if I can save her or not :/

This does not appear to be very good at all. I would say that the extent of the injury to her eyes would determine her wellbeing at the moment.

It will look bad at first, but most could heal. Chickens without eyes or severe head damage are usually a goner. I hope everything goes well!! Just clean her up.

Poor thing! She looks like she is in a lot of pain. After treating her injuries, please keep us posted! Bear hugs...

OMG!! That looks really bad! Her eyes from what I can see look really good though, like they haven’t been damaged? Her beak also looks good, so if you can prevent it from getting infected, I think she might be able to make it. Did this just happen tonight? She is still walking so that is a good sign that she is still such standing.

Is her head still there ? I am sorry she is in shock just now how badly is she chewed ?

It is really bad. and my fault I didn't lock the coop soon enough tonight 2 more images different angle, I cant see any eyes and second image is the top of her beak. I think shes a goner?

Oh, that is so sad

I sure think she's not long for this world. If that hunk on the ground in the last pic is the top of her beak (in addition to what appears to be a lot of facial tissue), I think it would be kind to ease her suffering and put her down as quickly as possible.

Is it mean to use her as bait to attempt to catch the coon for the sake of the rest of our flock?
