raccoon attack hens beak chewed off.

she is still going, we fight every morning and evening with hand feeding but she is getting stronger. Some of the feathers are actually growing back in on her wing and butt. Gash on her wing/shoulder area is closing up nicely the one her butt is very deep but it is starting to heal. Her face is looking better but I don't know if she will ever learn to eat on her own but I am sure it is still very sore. I will have to post some pictures later today.

I imagine it is extremely painful! Ever had an exposed tooth nerve? That’ll make a grown man cry.

Glad she is doing better. Good on you for sticking with her.

that one is bad. I keep packing it with triple antibiotic ointment. The yellow seems to be her skin drying up. There is pink under it and I don't want to pull it loose. It seems to go into the wound.

You are doing an amazing job caring for her! She is slowly recovering well from such trauma... Kudos for taking this long journey on!
Keep us posted with her progress!

Have you tried learning to tube feed her? It is quite easy to do while she is healing, and can be done 2-3 times a day in a few minutes. Here is some information on learning:

I am so glad that she is surviving. She looks good. Here are some more links on tube feeding:

. She really does seem much better from the first picture. I’m hoping she continues to improve! I will be looking for follow ups.

I’m glad she’s doing relatively well. Good job! I hope she continues to improve and eventually learns to eat.
