I need some help figuring out if these chickens need to be put down or not. I had a raccoon attack last night, I lost five chickens, and three were injured.
The first case is a barred Plymouth rock.
As you can see, she’s got a major cut on her back. No other injuries on her as far as I can tell.
Second case is an amber white.
As you can see, she’s not putting any weight on one leg. I don’t see any signs of a wound, but she is obviously hurt there. She refuses to move from one spot.
Third case is a Rhode Island red.
She obviously took some damage, doing the same thing as the amber White, not using one leg.
Every time the Amber White and the Rhode Island red try to move, it seems like they are really struggling. They almost fall over when they try to move.
Should I put these chickens down?
