Hello all, any advice given the following situation would be appreciated.....
I fell asleep early Friday night and forgot to lock the chickens in their coop. My wife and I were rudely awoken around 1:30 AM by the chickens screaming about a raider in the coop. After rushing out to try and stop some kind of attack in progress, we found 1 of our chickens missing - presumed to be a casualty of the attack.
Imagine my suprise as the missing chicken came running out of the woods squaking like crazy this evening (Sunday).
Here's the problem - her beak is gone! She has one other minor injury, but there is basically nothing left of the beak. I've separated her from the rest of the flock - is there anything else I should do other than hoping she makes it thru the night?
Thanks
