I went out to feed the flock & noticed my silkie hen looking like this! She was fine yesterday, the coop & run are completely enclosed but I have found baby possums in the coop before. Could a possum have done this?! The silkies cant get too high up at night & where they sleep is probably the perfect height for a possum to try snatching one. Anyway I rinsed the eye with warm water & flushed with saline solution. She is seperated from the flock with a small bowl of water & duramycin-10 mixed in. Her beak cannot close & seems to be sideways so i doubt she can drink it anyways. She also has a spot on her back that i cant really see through the crusty feathers, but im certain there are puncture wounds under there. If theres no hope i would rather put her out of her misery (somehow, suggestions?) than let her suffer. I dont know what to do here, any help is appreciated!
