Injured Hen:(

So she us feeling better! Her poor eyes are jis t gross I bought some saline solution, syringe and terramycin. She fights me when I mess with her eye so I'm waiting on my other half to get off work so he can help hold her!!

Poor thing.

Keep her hydrated. It can take a few days for the swelling to go down. When you have help, gently swaddle her in a towel to enclose the wings and legs - this will make it easier to manage her.

So now that she is all cleaned up and I am cleaning her wounds a couple times a day I can see how bruised her head is I can get her to drink water and she is still laying but... she has not ate anything. I have tried what others have suggested and even made it kind of mushy for her. Is it ok that she is not eating if she is drinking?

 

[Wyorp Rock]

She can go a day or two without eating. Keeping her hydrated is important.

See if she will take a chopped egg, tuna/sardines or a little beef liver.

So sorry about your chickens!
I had the same thing happen to me, it stinks.

There are lots of great people here with experience and knowledge, and they're very willing to share it! I have no experience with birds and they literally helped me save my chicken's life with their advice.
Wyorp was one of them

Wishing you the best of luck with your bird!

I can't get her to even eat those things she will drink when I put it in front of her I just can't get food down is there liquid meals for chickens??

I was just going to suggest putting vitamins in her water but maybe she still needs some time to cool down and recoup after the fight and let her stomach settle. Too much too process for a sweet chicken

She really us the sweetest! Her name is Grace. She will snuggle up to me now and let me doctor her up... her entire head is bruised but the movement in the eye is a first. Wednesday it didn't even look like she had an eye! So I'm gonna buy some poultry vitamins...any suggestions? And take your advice on letting her calm down after the fight! I just don't want her to starve All of you are amazing!!!
