No picture just couldn’t manage. Good soaks and a thorough going over with tweezers. She’s warm and dry in my ‘hen hospital’ while I go to get some veterecin for the wound.

Applied veterecin and clipped feathers. She’s pretty droopy. I gave her syringe of water with electrolyte but she won’t touch mealworms or sunflower seeds which she usually loves. I hope she perks up tonight.

Update: she didn’t make it through the night. She was an older non-laying hen and I think the stress was just too much.
