Hi all,
I have a chicken who I have been raising since February, a couple nights ago all the chickens were outside and doing fine, when I heard a bunch of chickens sqauking, so went outside with my flash light, and found a raccoon got in. It managed to attack one of them twice. After it had left, I checked on the chicken. She was walking in a clockwise circle and then fell.
So brought her in and quarantined here in a good sized dog cage with food and some medicated water. All she does is sit there. Every few hours I put some antibiotic gel on her wounds. She hasn't been eating or drinking. When ever I put gel on her wounds I also make sure she drinks a bit of water. I think her neck is broken because she can't hold it up. She can move it a little but not much. I think she also might have a broken leg. When she does stand she walk backwards and flip her self over then walk a clockwise circle and then fall over. What can I do to help her?
