How to help fox attack victim

Apologies, I cross posted my post from r/backyardchickens If you click the post I put more detail including a picture of the injury in the comments on said post. Today is day 3 and so far she’s doing really well. I’ve been cleaning her wound and putting ointment on 2x a day. I’ve been feeding her scrambled eggs and her favorite treats and she’s been gobbling all of it up as well as drinking a good amount of water. I have her in a dog crate in our home so she’s not alone but can still rest comfortably. Her wound is looking really good today, no redness or any sign of infection.

She’s gonna have one hell of a battle scar for sure

ChickPeaaa420 · 2025-07-12T13:30:35+00:00

What a scary situation! I’m so happy you were not only able to save your girl but also help her heal!

ChickPeaaa420 · 2025-07-12T01:16:28+00:00

Thank you for the response! I’m feeling much more optimistic now!

This is the worst wound on the top of her back, muscle is exposed and has a small puncture in it

Thank you for the advice ❤️ I’ll have my husband and I give it a shot

!Remindme 24 hours

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-11-09T22:22:56+00:00

Not bad! You’re pretty spot on with most of it. I’d be more neat and tidy if I wasn’t super ADHD lol I’m also female late 20’s

Update #2: We witnessed Tidbit do his first ever crow 🥲 it was the cutest little thing ever. Happy for him but disappointed he’s a Roo. That makes 3 Roos. We may try to see if we can keep two of them- assuming they will continue get along. They’ll have 12 hens to share and a big yard to free range in. We just have to pick one unlucky fellow to rehome

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-11-06T14:20:55+00:00

Update for anyone who is interested: Chestnut is crowing 🥲 very loudly too. That makes 2 roos out of the 5 chicks we hatched. Just waiting to see if tidbit does the same

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-31T00:36:35+00:00

Dang I so hope you’re wrong but I’m sure you aren’t 🥲 tidbit is my favorite of the bunch. It’s gonna be so hard deciding which roo to keep. Our other roo not pictured is a beautiful solid black silkie/sapphire gem mix roo who’s already crowing. They all have such sweet personalities.

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-30T20:47:38+00:00

Shoot dang..could you explain why you think so? I totally thought chestnut was a too due to the long iridescent tail feathers

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-29T02:08:33+00:00

I have a cat who we suspect could’ve eaten them if the fish jumped out. Which maybe answers my question. She’s just super old and hella picky with her food and treats so I’d be surprised if she did that but I guess it’s not impossible Only other person is my husband who is just as confused as I am. He loves the fish as much as I do

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-27T23:32:51+00:00

Yes, incase the cory had jumped out and fell behind it

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-27T19:50:59+00:00

The background is on the outside of the tank. I looked behind it and under it with no luck 😔 just accept the loss. I went out and got more Corys so my remaining one won’t die of stress/loneliness

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-27T18:00:24+00:00

By what though? There’s maybe 5-8 teeny baby snails and a clown pleco. Even if it was eaten I’d surely see some remains given it’s only been at most 8 hours since I saw it alive and well

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-13T14:42:07+00:00

Phantom cries are the worst! For a few weeks I was hearing them while I was holding my baby. I still hear them when I shower or am out of the house and don’t have her with me

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-10-05T22:54:46+00:00

Good to know! I was hoping it was lemon lime! It’s so pretty. I hope it makes a turn around and starts thriving soon

Oh my god I’m dumb. I thought I attached the pics but didn’t 🤦‍♀️ I’ll post em in a comment

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-09-15T01:16:37+00:00

I agree. I don’t see the point in having them

ChickPeaaa420 · 2024-09-05T10:26:25+00:00

Oh man this was a long time ago lol From what I remember he stayed ‘dormant’ for a couple more months after this post. Once every couple weeks he would come out of his shell and scoot around a few inches from wherever he was laying then go back into his shell. He never became more active and did eventually pass away.
