Recently, (Tuesday night) a fox broke into our 2 1/2 month old pullet coop. She killed 8, but we still have three. Asa cautionary measure, we put the pullets into another coop with 5 hens because that coop is built like a tank. Everyone was locked up with plenty of food and water and fine this morning. When I came home from work, I noticed one of the RIR pullets had had her comb completely pecked off. I fixed the pullet coop and put the three back out, but I am worried about the one pullet. She is drinking water and eating, but the top of her head is wet with blood. What types of medical measures should I make to make sure that she is comfortable, or should I put her down? Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
