One of my girls was attacked by a cat and suffered serious head injuries. I've been nursing her for four days, giving her tetracycline by dropper and trying to spoon feed her a little watered mash with crushed feed and egg yolk, although she takes very little.
My biggest question is if this is even worth it. I can see now that her outer eyelid may be gone on the one eye although the eyeball seems ok. If she can never close the eye again should I be saving her? The inner eyelid is working. Does anyone else have a chicken with no eyelid? I feel so bad for her. One of my nicest girls of course. Thanks for your help.
