Ine if my Silkie chicks about a month old was attacked by some thing yesterday I found her sitting down shaking with blood all over her back and scabbed up a little bit no feathers. So I brought her in and cleaned her up and she just fell asleep .
I brought her outside today and noticed she was having a hard time walking and she’s dragging one of her feet. Is there something I can do to figure out exactly what is hurt so I cantry to fix it? She’s inside for now. Thank you
 
You can feel for a possible broken bone. Is it eating and drinking ok? Keeping it warm and calm is about the best medicine. Making sure it stays hydrated and not in shock also. It may have damaged a nerve which is not something you can just fix or have muscle damage. I had a limping chicken one time after a attack and after a few days she was able to walk right so hopefully if it's not too much internal damage your chick may recover.
