Last night a raccoon got into my Grandfathers chickens. It killed two of them, at least, I know one is dead, the other has been taken. Another is also hurt. As soon as I found them I examined all the birds and moved the hurt one inside so the others wouldn't peck it and the flies would not bother her. She has two wounds, one beneath her right wing, about two by two in. and another smaller wound that is more shallow beneath the left wing towards the wings front. I have rinsed both with saline and have put anti-bacterial ointment on them. I also wrapped both in gauze and have put her in a small pen and offered her water. I plan to change the gauze and clean the wound out with saline every couple of hours...
Is there anything else I can do?
Have I done anything wrong?
Any advice is appreciated greatly,
Thank you.
