I had my 6 week olds outside in their own makeshift run, but one of them somehow escaped and was attacked by my grown hens. She has a small cut on her beak, but a huge gross gash on her head. The skin is totally seperated and I *think* I can see bone, but I'm not sure. I put neosporen on it and put her in a crate in my basement and she is eating and drinking, but also doing a lot of just standing with her eyes closed, obviously in pain. Is there anything else I can do for her? Do you think it's humane to let her try to get through the night, or should I cull her to end her suffereing? (the fact that she is eating was reassuring to me)
