raising chickens

[Kiki]

Have you made sure the cat is not able to start eating on any of the rest of the chicks?

I have a baby chick that a cat ate the wing off . I want to know if there is anything I can do because there isn't any vet near me. I'm not sure if any bone is exposed but it still tries to stand up to eat and tries to walk. And it also opens its eyes as nothing happens but it still closes its eyes most of the time and it happened yesterday so it survived throughout the night.

Do you have any pictures? I don't know if he can be saved. Especially when they are that small.

yes, they are in a safe place indoors since it's cold where I am. Yesterday it was sunny so we decided to take them outside but that happened.

No, I don't but he is eating right now and trying to stand up

What are your plans for when they are too big for staying indoors?
Do you have a predator-proof coupe ready to go?

If there is bone or an open wound it can easily get infected. Is or was it bleeding?

It was bleeding yesterday and I can't really see a bone. It stopped bleeding

Yes, I have one 1-year-old grown chicken and 8 pre-teen chickens. They are in a chicken coop surrounded by metal wire fencing.
