Thanks for your post - and the update later. One of my girls "Noodle" was attacked today and reading this is giving me encouragement.
I've created a small pen for her in the house to keep her warm and separated from the others. She is definitely in shock- just sitting or standing there making sad cooing noises. There is a small amount of blood on her comb- which I cleaned with warm water- but I don't want to pick it off in case it reopens a wound. Her wings seem fine- but after closer inspection I do see a puncture wound on her upper back near her neck- she's obviously lost a lot of feathers there too. It's not bleeding, and I've cleaned it and put on some neosporin. Also- one of her eyes is swollen and shut- but no other obvious injuries in that area. I wonder what else I should do- I'm just beside my self and all I can do is stand there and stare at her. I hope she makes it through the night!
