We had a horrible storm last night and somehow this hen got out of the run and coop. I just found her this morning like this. What do it do???help!!

Oh gosh, poor Lady. Rinse it off with saline, wound wash or warm water then apply neosporin, treat for shock with electrolyte water and keep her warm.

Ok,that's what I've done. I also applied veterycin Poultry care spray. She has water with electrolytes and is currently in my bathroom under a heat lamp.

She's not wanting to drink anything right now. Should I Syringe it into her mouth?

If you want to, do it pointing to the side of her throat. but it might be best to leave her alone to rest for a few hours. Have you made sure those were the only injuries?

I just looked all over her. Those are the only external injuries. I don't think there's internal but of course cant know that. She did poop. It was pretty watery and white but had a little form to it.

Just checked on her and she ate so I think that's a good thing? She's in a cage in the garage under a heat lamp.

You're doing all the right things! Can you give her some raw yolk to whet her appetite?

I can. We definitely have plenty of eggs for that.

Ok, so she's drinking now also. Fi gers crossed she heals up well. When can I put her back outside with the others? I'm definitely keeping her in for a few days but am not sure when she can safely go back into the run and coop.
