It's been 48 hours since one of our isa brown hens was attacked by a hawk. She is average size and is about a year old. We managed to chase it off just as it made its first attack on her leg. There seems to be no physical injuries or blood other than a bare patch of skin on the upper thigh under her right wing. I believe she went into shock.
I've kept her isolated in a covered box in a quiet room and have given her water with supplements and scrambled eggs. She drank some of the water and ate a little of the eggs. She's also pooped yesterday and it looked normal albeit a little watery.
Today, I sat with her outside for sunshine and reminded the flock of her existence. I gave her feed softened with water and she readily ate a small amount. She's doing a little better than the day before.
She's relatively alert and her legs do respond to touch and when moved. However, she seems to favor her left leg when placing her upright and also topples forward. When she moves herself, she doesn't seem to have much balance and so rolls over clumsily. What is the issue and is there anything else I can do to help her?
