Quick update - Dot seems to be doing pretty well. She's content to sit in her carrier in the kitchen all day, but is eating and drinking, and strongly disapproves of the meds getting syringed down her throat twice a day! A fight is always a good sign, IMO. Sadly, this isn't the first chicken I've nursed back from an animal attack, so I have much more practice at administering than she does at fighting me off!I make a point to handle each of my girls occasionally, though, just so experiences like this don't have the added trauma of "Why is the human TOUCHING me?!?!"
Hopefully I'll have halfway-healed pics of her to share next week.
