Hen Got Shocked and Pecked by Rooster. Is Missing Skin. Please Help!

Here's a video of her curled toes,
and here's a video of her falling.

After the next feeding time for her, I will feel her crop.

I've included a video of how to feed a chicken that has Wry Neck, just to show you a technique you may want to try to help steady her since she is struggling to stay upright to eat/drink.

From the videos you posted, she looks like she may have developed some neurological issues from her injuries. Time will tell if she will recover. Keeping her hydrated, adding the vitamins mentioned previously and giving her extra protein like egg, tuna, beef liver may help. I would keep her separated if at all possible until she recovers.

She may also benefit from being placed in a sling - here is some photos basic design - you can get creative if you like, but she will need to be monitored when in the sling.

I apologize for not posting this earlier, I have an exciting update on Francis.

Okay, so, last night when we put ol' Fran to bed, my mother suggested I should straighten out her feet. I agreed to it. It took some effort, but I got it. This morning I woke up and went to check on her, I got her out of her box and set her on the ground. No more curled toes. :ya

I tried to help her stand. She was a lil' wobbly at first, but she stood. By 10 AM she was walking around without assistance, eating independently and drinking independently. :wee Her wounds look like they are beginning to scab over and she already has 2 teensy little feathers on her head that weren't there before.

We plan on keeping her on the porch until she gains some weight and her wounds completely scab over. She is pooping regularly and it looks perfectly normal, too. :celebrate
