Severely attacked Barred Rock

[starbuck]

I'm not sure what got to her, but she is BAD. Huge gaping wounds on both sides. Open and exposed muscle. I brought her inside last night and she's been laying in the same spot with extremely labored breathing since then. Not moving, certainly not eating or drinking. And she smells bad.

Ugh, what should I do? Hope she gets better and keep her inside? Put her out of her misery? Leave her outside for something else to do my dirty work? UGH.

Thank you!

Put her out of her misery!

I had one yesterday I ran for the ax first thing until I saw she had no punctures! She was pretty lifeless but was back to acting pretty normal within a few hours of heatlamp/and some perk me ups... All night and no improvement plus the open wounds you need to do that chicken a favor and end the suffering.

Sorry it happened to your chicken but good luck.

How long was she lethargic for? I guess that's what I'm wondering- and what the PP addressed. The bleeding was stopped by the time I got to her, but she's just laying there in the crate. If she's going to make it, how long would she be lethargic for? Like if she is still like this tonight or tomorrow she's just waiting to die?
