My brave girl beat the Fox!

[DCooper]

Mr Fox came the other day and helped himself to two of my girls. My feisty Sara (named after Sarah Harding/ Girls Aloud) got away but I just noticed a huge gash in her side just above her wing. She is soldiering on but I wandered if there was anything I could do?

You should bring her in , keep her warm and clean out the gash with diluted iodine (make sure you dilute it )
keep her in give her electolites or vitamins poly vi sol no iron some scrambled eggs and I bet she will be good as new- they heal amazing fast .
Do you know how the fox got in - it will be back since it knows where food is you will need to reinforce the coop and run .

oh and even though you had something bad happen

hopefully you can post the good news about sarah

The fox will be back. Protect your hen. She may not be so lucky next time.
