So last night a predator somehow got into the coop. It killed my one hen and messed up my other one. My hen who got bit is a 3yo black australorp. The back of her comb is bit but thankfully not her head and there in a wound on her back which isnt too deep. She was already weak before this happened, being very lethargic/sleeping during the day because I believe she is molting. She still seems to be eating a little bit and drinking so thats good. I isolated her from the other hens and sprayed bactine on her wounds but I dont know what else to do. If shes molting Im worried she wont have the energy to heal.
