*HELP* predator attack

[Sequel]

This is after just getting a little warm water over her still cant tell if theres an eye left on either side :/ id have to think there is on one sideor the other? either way shes a fighter as she survived coccidiosis as a young chick and now this.. which really does not help me knowing i got her back to health once but not so sure about again .

Has she been able to drink?

Has she been able to drink?

No im afraid to pick to hard at the tissue on the right side of her face to see if she maybe even has one eye left I do not see one on the left side. im going to see what she does with a dropper if I have one still

Wow. Does she have both parts of her beak?

Wow. Does she have both parts of her beak?

No only the bottom just bone like pieces of a top. is there any bone anatomy of chickens pictures been posted in the past that anyone has seen? I cant put myself to cull her even though in the end that seems to be the consensus of those that have seen the images, but also don't want it to suffer:/ really in a tough spot cause I also have nothing to do the job with either not like I can just grab and kitchen knife and go wack,wife would kill me..

It won't grow back, in all likelihood. If she pulls through, she will always be special needs. I don't know if she will make it, but I know of birds who have survived with a good deal of the top beak missing or broken. Some have also lived for a few weeks/months and then succumb to infection or other issues related to the injury.

How is she doing tonight?

Do you have any one that will help with this ?

 

[jllracer55]

Heres a picture of her in memory, thanks for your kind words and assistance.

 

[Aunt Angus]

Pretty little thing.... I'm so sorry this happened...

If the upper part of her beak is gone, you need to put her down. It will not grow back and she will never be able to eat. If her eyes are gone, she will never be able to find food. As for the trap, what you need to have is a large, cage type live trap. The best one for predators has a separate compartment in one end to put the bait in that they can not get at. Yes, it is perfectly ok to use her as bait but she is large and you would need that large trap to do so. If you have the smaller type, use a can of canned cat food and wire it to the inside of the trap in the back so it can't be lifted out. Once you catch the raccoon, don't set it free. If you take it less than a couple of miles away, it will return. Wherever you let it go, it will go after someone elses birds. If you can not have someone shoot it in the trap, take it to a pond and drop the whole thing in. In a couple of minutes it will be dead but wait for 5 before removing it. Make sure the trap you have will fit a raccoon. It would have to be at least a foot square at the opening to allow a coon to fit comfortably and larger would be better.

Did your bird pass away, or is she still fighting? I'm so sorry this had to happen to your pretty girl.
