Hen got attacked by fox/coyote; Has neck and back injuries.

[Dudeguy]

Breed: Faverolles chicken

Age: ~1 year.

Weight: No exact weight but is a heavier breed.

She has an incision in her neck that pierced to the fat layer but not much farther, and two tooth marks on either side of her mid backbone.

She was attacked at ~4:30-5:00pm this afternoon.

She was the only one who got attacked.

Currently, there is no active bleeding.

It is unknown what attacked her but it is suspected to be either a fox or a coyote because they are active in our area.

She has egg production food (the only chicken food we had on hand) with water mixed with poultry Nutri-drench.

Her poop color is unknown as of this post.

We have gotten her to safety in an “infirmary” with food and water. For wound treatment, we have used super glue (originally made for wound care in war) to close her neck wound. We have also washed her and applied Vetericyn plus antimicrobial to the back wounds.

We will try to do all of the treatment for her.

Sounds like you've got her taken care of, good job.
Just monitor those punctures, ideally they should have been left open for a little while so they can drain and infection but they should be ok if you were thorough with the first aid.

Thank you for the reply, we only closed the neck wound and the back is still open just for that reason. So far she is doing well and has been eating and we made sure she drank. Have a good rest of your day!
