Door closed on chickens neck! (not an emergency)

[guest226]

I have a door to the chicken run that swings closed by itself so that predators don't get in if its left open! My chickens try their best to eat the dead leaves outside the coop. She stuck her head out and usually I am able to push her back inside, but my hands were occupied and the door shut on her neck. It wasn't on for long, and she got out of it quickly. She stood very still for a minute and looked in shock. (Beak was open a little)

After a moment she seemed fine again. Ate enthusiastically and drank. Should I check up on her during the night? Does she have a risk of wry neck or bleeding or anything?

It seemed like she was in pain for a bit but was completely fine after.

I'd see how she is in the morning.

Likely she's o.k. if she seemed o.k. and was drinking after the door closed.

I've had that happen, the door shut on one of my hen's neck, she acted a bit shocked and standoffish for an hour or so, then resumed her normal activities.
