My flock got attacked by a fox today. I have 3 hens that are injured around the neck area and underneath their wings. Puncture wounds and "slashes" up to 2 inches long. They look pretty bad and I almost want to stitch them up.......
One of the hens is not really that bad injured but seems to be totally traumatized, just sitting on the floor with her head resting on the ground and just in total shock.
I isolated them from the rest of the flock (still 5 hens missing). They are in the coop but separated with chicken wire from the rest.
What can I do about the puncture wounds and the long slashes? I guess the one that is totally traumatized I guess I just have to wait and let her "mentally recover", she is actually the one with the least amount of physical injury.
