Pickle is doing awesome, thank you again for the advice! Her left side is still healing but her right side is fully healed and she has feathers starting to grow again. She's still my best girl, laying every day since the attack.
Yes all the missing feathers are from the coyote. He just caught up to her as I got out the door. These pictures are as good as I could get for now. I'll have to do a more detail evaluation when hubby gets home.
Under right wing- doesn't look super deep, gash is about the size of my thumb

So glad to be a member but wish it was under better circumstances. I've had chickens for a year now and we have gone through it. Raccoons, opossum, hawks, frost bite, broody hen, it's been a year. And thanks to everyone on here I've found some great advice!
My OG, best layer got attacked...
Yesterday I walked out my back door and a coyote was chasing my poor Pickle. She survived the night and got herself into her purch. This morning I noticed between her toes is puffy. It's not bramble, but does this mean it's sprained/broken? Is there anything I can do like keep her in a kennel...
