I saved one our hens from a hawk yesterday and I'm really not sure what to do for her. She's inside and I made an electrolyte solution for her water. She seems in pretty good spirits and she's still eating and drinking and her poop looks normal. She has regular chicken feed, but I gave her a scrambled egg and some raw garlic last night. My biggest question is what to do with the wounds. Her back is basically bare and there are a couple smaller talon wounds and only one wound that's a bit bigger. I used peroxide and triple antibiotic on them last night, I'm just not sure if I should continue with the peroxide or just stick with the triple antibiotic after the initial clean. I also have some vetiricyn, but haven't used that on it yet. I figured the antibiotic was probably better to start with. I'm just not sure if there's other foods I should be doing as well and what the best way to clean the wounds is after the initial clean with peroxide. I appreciate any help and advice, I've never had to deal with something like this. We've lost chickens before, but they just disappeared, I've never actually witnessed and stopped an attack.
Thank you guys in advance!
