Traumatized hen - suggestions?

[BonDEEroo]

Thanks, she's a sweet and trusting girl and we feel bad she had such an awful experience.

She's going better today but still appears dazed and quiet. Wound OK. Eating more.

Is she drinking enough?

She may be really sore. Hopefully she will bounce back soon.

 

[BonDEEroo]

Yes she's drinking.
She is sore - she normally roosts on top of a cage about 1 metre high, but I've been lifting her up at night and down in the morning

Jemima is gradually getting back to normal and the wound is healing well. Nearly lost her, one of my favourite hens!

 

[Wyorp Rock]

Thanks for the update. I'm glad to hear she is improving

 

[BonDEEroo]

Jemima has almost recovered! She's still a bit tender where the dog grabbed her but she's eating and drinking normally, and has reasserted her position in the pecking order (number 2 of 11).

That's great news!
