I came home yesterday to evidence of chicken hit and run, bunch of feathers along the road. I didn't see a dead chicken, none in the ditch, I found him under the car port.
Pretty sure he has a broken wing, not using one leg, blood on his beak. He's breathing a little heavy with his mouth open. I left him under the carport with a little cup of water, to see if he would make it through the night.
This morning he was in the same place, still the same. I lifted him on to a chair, so he would be more comfortable. Shortly after, he started doing some strange breathing thing (he looked like he was crowing, with no sound, but a bit rattly). I thought he was on his way out, put him on the grass so he could feel the sun. He worked past it. Put him back on the chair.
What do I do with him? Is there any chance he can make it?
