Neighbor's dog got into our backyard while they were free ranging and chased one of the chickens. It's the same one that been attacked by a hawk before. Fortunately, their dog is young and more focused on play rather than kill so the chicken is alive! I scanned her and she only lost underside feathers, no blood or open flesh. One of her toes is bending too much but she's been walking on it normally, so I wrapped and splinted it just in case. She's eating and drinking. I've decided to leave her with her sisters in their coop because she's moving about like any other day. Any other care I can do for her?

Maybe give her a little sugar water in case of shock? A tsp of sugar in a wuart of water. Also did the dog have hold of her? Watch for bruising. Chickens bruise green.

She's moving normally now, so I think the shock has subsided. I will keep an eye out for bruising, thanks!
