Hi! Yesterday when I called all the girls in I found my silkie hen in a corner of the outdoor run just crouching there. I picked her up and realized she was bloody down her front. I cleaned her up in the sink and she is missing feathers on her chest and one of her toes is gone. No idea what happened. I don’t have a rooster and everyone gets along.
I got the blood to stop and kept her in the laundry room overnight. Today she’s been sitting in a corner of the run all day and her toe is bleeding a bit again. I put syptic powder on it but I’m worried she’s probably not eating and drinking like she should.
Please don’t judge me but I recently lost my job and I really can’t afford to take her to the vet. But should I keep her inside for a few days? Or will she be more distressed on her own? I have four dogs so she will have to stay in the laundry room.
