I never had a chicken in this state but I would take her inside so you can keep an eye on herIt's a perfect 72 ... as was over night in the 60's . I flushed with saline . I can't get her to take any fluids:/ should I move her inside?
Do you know what happened?
How warm is it outside?
She may need to be placed somewhere warm.
When you can, get some photos of the top so we can see how deep the wounds are.
Clean/flush the wounds with saline, chlorhexidine or similar - what you have on hand.
Apply triple antibiotic ointment to the wounds.
Looks like she's in shock, so gently get some fluids into her. If you have electrolytes that would be good or you can give a little warmed sugar water.
it was done by the rooster & flock . Nothing can get inside!I would move her inside. Use an eyedropper to get fluids and electrolytes into her. If you leave her outside, the other members of the flock will likely beat the heck out of her. Once healed, you can re-integrate her to the flock. Unless, of course, the damage was caused BY the flock. Can you tell what happened?
