Today, since I was home all day with DH, we decided to let all the GH and chickens roam the yard, as the pen is so muddy.
They weren't out but 5 mins. when a hawk struck...Stunned the chicken, and before he could attach my DH scared it away..by the time I got to her, she was laying on her side, still breathing, but one eye closed. I have her in the barn under a heat lamp with food and water...put some vits. in water...she's alert, but her one eye is still closed. Not sure if damaged.
So lucky she's alive...if ok tomorrow I may put her back with the other.
