I've tried calling them they all come over to the door and look at me like I'm crazy lol I get a few to come in but never all of them and it does get pretty hot in there during the day it's well ventilated but I'd feel uneasy about keeping them inside for very long in the heat of the day but I'll try to keep luring them in with treats if it cools down any I'll try Levin them in a few days thanks for the help =)

Chickens have some amazing healing powers, as long as they are still fighting, I give her a very high probability of making a complete recovery.

I haven't had a cat attack on my chicks, but I've had their pen mates pick them very hard and expose flesh. I use bluekote to make it less appealing and put them back in for round 2 and they usually make it.

Well I looked at my chick up close when I closed up the coop tonight. It was attacked, badly. :hit . It had exposed flesh on its tail, right at the base where the tail feathers start. Poor thing. Brought it in the house to put some peroxide on it, and I see it has puncture marks under each wing. The little thing was scrappy and still putting up a fight to me doctoring it. On one side, the skin had closed but was puffing up, is there anything I can do? I just tried to douse it in peroxide and put it back in the coop. I hope it pulls through. That $&@# cat. I tried knocking on my neighbors door twice, but I don't think she can hear the door. :rolleyes:


Oh Anne I'm sorry....The peroxide should help some with the bacteria, maybe some neosporin?  I've seen on here where some folks use it, we got something called Blue Lotion, it is an antiseptic wound dressing..We haven't used it yet.  Also honey is a good anti-bacterial.  Blu-Kote works good for the picking the others may do on it if they see the wounds.  They are scrappers for sure..Our Gladys got away from the fox that got the other 3, she got her tail snatched, but no wounds.  Good Luck!

Hooray! If it were my chick, I'd do precautionary injectable antibiotics. Cats kill and eats all kinds of nasty things all day that can carry disease, who knows what's under its claws.

My guess is stray dog.

Anne, sorry about your little one. I vote Blu Kote and seperating from main coop while healing.

Thanks guys. She is still under the care of her Broody Mama. I was going to put her and the chicks in an enclosure while I am at work so no one else gets nabbed. Should u just separate the injured one? I am afraid Mama hen will forget or abandon it.

I have 16 golden laced wyandottes about 3 months old they have been outside for a while now they have a big run and an old shed for a coop but my problem is that they won't go inside at night I was told I have to show them how to go in and out and that's understandable but every night when I leave for work they all are bedded down in the far corner of the run so I put them all in and close their door let them out when I come home in the morning next night same thing they just won't sleep in the coop they go in and out for food ....I just don't know what to do any help would be appreciated thanks

If everyone is picking on her, yes separate her. If not, then you can leave her with mom.
