Severely Injured Chicken, Please Help!

[Jackalope Vigil]

She doesn't have pox, and she wasn't acting sick this week. She's a little feisty so I just figured that she started a fight she couldn't win.

Now that you've said it, I think that might have been the case. She died a little bit ago. I'm going too see if I can get a biopsy on her to figure out the cause so it doesn't harm any of my other birds. Thank you so much for answering my questions.

I'm really sorry to hear about that.

I hope the others remain healthy.



Just thought I'd add that if she got bitten by a predator then the saliva in some predators (cats, for example) can lead to life threatening infections very quickly. Your chickens could have pecked at these injuries.
