Wow that's quite impressive! I could have definitely used better and more proper grammar lol. So tired from being up all night worrying, even though I KNOW that's not going to help the situation
Thank you very much for your reply 
I was having a hard time sleeping when I was thinking about the eggs in the incubator and what would happen if one of them was born disformed last night and she probably will recover. One time our little dog attacked our ducks and one of them had gotten bit and was still alive and my redneck older brother super glued the wounds shut and the duck lived!!Wow that's quite impressive! I could have definitely used better and more proper grammar lol. So tired from being up all night worrying, even though I KNOW that's not going to help the situation
I'm so sorry you had to lose them. I hope this one gets betterMy dog just attacked one of my chickens... I've been crying all night lol. I love my animals so much, I know many of you understand this! He's a LG Dog (puppy) just under 5 months old and is 50+lbs so we've been training him and working with him every single day, all day. We just put a bunch of teens in a run we built off the side of the very large new coop we built last year and I noticed he had been paying much more attention to them since they've been stretching their wings and darting back and forth. It seems like it triggered his prey chase desire and the same day I was watching that behavior much more closely and correcting him he still managed to snag one of my 5 free range laying hens... my beautiful, dependable still laying 5 year old Americana named "Snowflake." Literally the only 10 minutes we weren't keeping an eye on him right after my husband got home and was telling me about his workday. He got the "shoulder" part of the top of her wing to the bone. I'm so devastated. My heart and soul hurts for her. She's ok I think... Doesn't seem to be in shock. Made it through the night. She's making her usual gentle noises and pooped this morning (it happened last night right before sundown). Immediately after the injury within 15 minutes, I mixed clean warm water with betadine and used a flushing syringe to clean the wounded area, then I used vetrymicin spray (sp?), then I pat her dry and put a bacitracin ointment on the open areas. Gave her some grapes with 1/4 crushed up baby aspirin in them (she's got to be in pain) and hard boiled some eggs for her to eat as well as her favorite black sunflower seeds and regular crumble. I also put an additive, for chickens of course, in her water that is a probiotic, full of vits and minerals to support immune function, and decreases the acidity of their bodies for stress and healing. Not sure what else I can do other than care for her like that and flush/clean her wound 3x a day at least. She's eating a little bit, must be drinking as well, and is inside our home with us in a very large cardboard box with large pine shavings. Some prayers for my hen would be very much appreciated! Thank you in advance my fellow chicken lovers
Thankfully my chicken didn't die, just praying she recovers without an infection
That sounds wonderful
thank you. I hope the wing will work so she can hop up into their roosting area still. Ugh.
Those are the same worries I would have if I was hatching too! That's true Farmer man ideaswith the super glue lol. My dad used to glue his severely broken or cut skin together with super glue too and it did work. I'm so glad it helped the duck!
if she cant you could always make a plywood rampThat sounds wonderful
Good idea
Yeah well now and then I might have one of thoseGood idea
