I have a small bantam flock ( one hen one rooster and 4 3months old chicks )
I was in room when I heard rooster alarm calls and peeked through the window and saw 3 chicks are running with straight tails and neck . If I hadnt saw their upright necks and tails I would've ignored rooster calls Cause here all neighbour rooster keep shouting like that.
Then I ran outside and saw mongoose dragging one chick (10m away ) I grabbed whatever came in my hands amd ran towards it . Mongoose vanished inthe bushes and I kept hitting the place where I saw it last time.
And after 10 min I believed I lost my pullet
When I turn around It was her lying on ground. Still breathing and then she started running. She was so scared amd I took her inside.
She got little scratches I applied turmeric mustard oil paste and she is doing fine 😊
I am too happy I saved her just wanted to share this with you

If you have your chicken you can share with me
 
This is a great recovery story! You should add all the things you used to save her, and it may help others in the future, with similar issues! Change the title, to, my hens recovery story! Or I have a remedy for.... and you can help other people with situations like this in the future! It may even become a sticky thread!

I am so glad she turned out okay.
 
Mongoose attacked inthe morning ( 8 nov)
Her left ear was bleeding and right part of face has scartches
After that I locked her with food and water in the coop. She was scared and kept sleeping that day. She drank few sips of water no food
Yesterday there was swelling in her left part and left eye is shut due to swelling
I fed her hard boiled egg ( because she was not eating feed) and water. She wanted to go out with her siblings .But I kept her indoors ( Cause she starts chirping when I lock her in coop alone )

Today she is eating feed ( but not eating hard boiled eggs 😂😂 ) today swelling has reduced that eye is still closed
But she is full of energy
Following me wherever I go
She is still inside.
Because with one eye she walk weirdly ( tilting her head too much )

And she is going tobe big sister 😊😊
Her mother has gone broody ( again 😄😅 )
