Sorry, I can't really comment on the poop, I was wondering if you'd gotten her to drink yet?

Well, I guess I could say this: My bird's poop is really runny because she's been on a liquid diet. I also assumed with my bird, that, like some other animals, her poop may've gotten runny because of the fright of the attack..?
But that's all I got, someone w more experience will give you a better answer
Glad she's doing better!

hope your hen is doing better, however have you taken care of the coon, He has to go, I would start setting traps. If there is one there are more. If you are not vegatarian, meat scrapes and bones from dinner make good bait. Hate to sound harsh, but you have to protect your girls, there is a reason they are called predators. I am so up set about your hen. Also may want to look at how to predator proof your roosting area/coop. Good luck with everything.

I think the poo is a result of just liquids and whatever food was left in her

Great coon bates are smelly foods like penut butter and dog or cat food mixed together smelly and tasty? Citrusy foods have a strong scent too meat works great too they love it!

Yes she is drinking!! I have to guide her to the bowl but she drinks... I just wasn't sure on how long they could go without food... this is her right now... some of the gunk is the the terramycin and on top of her head is triple antibiotic ointment!!!

So we have traps and snares set up all over... this is the first time the coon actually sticks it's hands in our coop to grab out chickens so we layered it with smaller chicken wire in hopes it'll just leave them alone. Haven't got a coon yet but we have put out bait... now we just wait! I have been super upset about my hen too my other Orpington has a narely scratch on her neck that has skin falling off but I'm flushing that out with peroxide and then putting triple antibiotic ointment on it!! My poor babies
