Can you post on an emergency thread? She probably needs to be separated from the rest of the flock and given food and water and rest, unless she is able to get around normal. If it's been recent, she may still be in shock and not ready to eat or drink. Chickens can be very hardy. Was it a...

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope it looks worse than it is. Come on Mary!

Sounds good. Maybe post a pic of your pretty girl as she starts to recover.

How did it go when you looked for feed? Mary might still need a warmer place to sleep....
