HELP!

[brandirjones]

It is a commercial shrimp net. Heavy netting. Came home to another hen with a severe puncture wound in her neck

It just wont upload any pictures. Find me on Facebook. They are there. Brandi Nicole Swearingen

Is the net completely secure all the way down to the ground? Can anything dig underneath or squeeze in?

I think I found you and sent a friend request. If it's you I'll look quick and you can delete me

I think you're on the right track thinking weasel or mink. They're very clever, can fit in such small spaces, and have grabby paws. Hope the chickens heal quickly and you catch your offender.

Also, it looks like you have them bandaged up well. They're in good hands, I have no doubt they'll make a full recovery.

Awe thanks! I set the trap with sardines and nothing yet. My girls did lay 4 eggs today. They seem a bit more relaxed today. If one finds a way in after all i did yesterday i just dont know what to do.

I'm not familiar with the netting you're using. If you still have problems you could try heavy duty fencing or electric

A COON! I caught it this morning

I'm glad you caught it! They can be so nasty they reach in and just rip them apart.

My white hen is acting fine but im noticing green coloring around her wound! Im giving warm baths every other day, cleaning with wound cleaner, boiling out with peroxide, packing with antibiotic cream and wrapping. Im doing this twice a day.
