Not eating, very weak after attack

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Allowing continued suffering is not in the best interests of the bird, IMO.

It’s time to look into having her put to sleep. I’m sure you can have your local vet do it for you. That way she will leave this world in loving arms. I’m so sorry that she hasn’t improved.

Time to let this bird go. I called a vet once after a chicken was injured - they wanted $150 to put a chicken to sleep! Needless to say, we took care of it ourselves. Well, to be honest, my husband did when I left for work!

Raising Livestock is not fun always...

They won't last long if they aren't drinking. Tube feeding/hydration is not that hard to do, you can youtube it - if she's not too far gone already. Sorry for your poor chicken.

Update: finally found a "farm animal vet" in Crestview, went and see her. Wounds looked good and clean. Gave her a shot of antibiotic and was told to give her 1/2 a drop full of Nitri-drench 3 time a day and some electrolyte water until she feed herself. I also saturate her crumble in the nutrition drench and feed her that way. Since Monday, she has improved and her strength is coming back slowly.

Glad to hear that she's improving! I had a sick one that the vet said most surely wouldn't make it and she did, so you never know sometimes. Good luck!
