Hey everybody, so after having chickens successfully for 4 years with no predated attacks a raccoon finally figured out how to get into the coop. He killed 5 of my girls and injured one pretty badly ( I will attach pictures). I have isolated her from the rest of the flock and put her on my front porch. I know chickens can survive these things but I need to know since I have no experience with these type of injuries if this looks like it is healing? Does it look infected? It looks wet from the neosporin I have been putting on it. I also attached a picture of the anti-microbial spray I have been using. She does walk around and open her eyes.
How long do these injuries typically take to heal? I have daily been going out and washing her wound, applying neosporin, and antimicrobial chicken wound spray. This is day 8 after the attack. I have been syringe feeding her applesauce ( which she loves), nutridrench, and water. Please be kind this is my pet. TIA
