When a bird is attacked, even if there isn't much injury, they go into shock for awhile. Just keep her calm, with food and water. She'll perk up in a day or two. Gatorade, or Powerade work great in a pinch for situations like this. Dilute it a bit.

I flushed it out with warm water mixed with antiseptic, And covered it with wound dressing.Just flush the wounds with saline, diluted betadine or warm soapy water if that is all you have.
Apply some triple antibiotic ointment to the wounds.
I would not add a heat lamp to your poult since she is in a tote. Maybe put a towel in there for her to snuggle in.
I understand that you free range, but you may want to consider installing electric fencing. The Fox is going to keep coming and finally work it's way through your flocks.
Trapping and/or shooting is a solution, but once these Fox are gone, more usually move in. Start working on a long-term solution for protecting your flock.
If you cover the wound with a dressing, please check it everyday to monitor the condition of the wound. I'm not a fan of covering a wound unless a bird won't leave it alone.I flushed it out with warm water mixed with antiseptic, And covered it with wound dressing.
I took care of the fox, Shot it from my deck this morning. I actually thought the turkey was dead until I picked it up by it's feet and started freaking out.. I have no idea how she's still alive but she's looking much better, chirping and eating. Hasn't drank much but she's getting better..
The fox is dead so hopefully I wont have anymore trouble with them for a while.. I do plan to fence in my property but that will take a very long time since I live on 40 acres.. I'm also getting 2 great pyrenees x aussie pups from a friend to raise outside with my animals..
But besides that I can't really do much right now.
