It sounds like she's doing fine. I would just check on her periodically, by the end of the day she may be over it. If she seems OK, and goes to roost normally, then I'd just leave her with the rest of the birds rather than stress her out more.
Hi both - just wanted to say thanks again for your advice. Tomorrow will mark one week since the attack and I'm happy to say Chickie Baby is doing great! She was virtually back to normal the next day and I haven't noticed any long term issues. I'm so happy!My thought would be to keep an eye on her, but generally leave her be. Extra excitement and stirring her around isn't something she needs right now.
Don't be too hard on yourself. We all make mistakes. I left a door open an let one of my huskies get out and get hit by a car and killed. It's hard to live with mistakes like that. You have to own the mistake, but move on.
My huskies killed three cats that got into our fenced-in back yard. They were very sweet dogs, but some just have a strong prey instinct. To them, it's like a cat with a mouse. You can't judge them by human standards.
Good luck. I hope everything turns out okay. Sounds like it is.
