Injured Hen, Culled (WARNING: GRAPHIC PHOTOS)

[Mimi13]

I am terribly sorry for your loss. I dread when that day comes for me because I know it will.
I do appreciate the pics, as some might not, because it really helps me learn. Thank you.

Sounds like a coon to me. All I had was feathers of one rooster and the eviscerated chest, leg and wing of another.

*hugs*

You said cervical dislocation and then I saw the picture of the severed head and was a little confused. I am so sorry Smuv!! I can only imagine how hard it is for you, my turn will eventually come too. I am so sad for you.

The remains of the one bird looks like what you described, so probably coon then. Thanks.

Oh DANG!

You did the only thing that could be done for her.











Its OK to throw up if you need to. I just won't hug you til you gargle or sumpin after.

I know this may sound gross, but do you have a live trap? If you do, I would bait it with what the coon left of the poor girl it killed. That is how I caught the coon that killed my roosters. Once caught, dispatch the killer.
