I hope she pulls through. It breaks my heart to see little beasts in distress.
We had a hawk attack last week (maybe an osprey). The little hen can walk again without a limp already, but her right eye is swollen and completely Black (no dilation). She can't quite feed herself on her first or second try, so we think it's blinded.
Is there any chicken eye ointment for this kind of thing? I figure she'll adjust and she doesn't seem to be in too much discomfort but her sisters will peck at her head and she can't even see it coming now.
Sorry to hijack the thread, but it felt weird to start a second "hawk attack" thread on the same day.
