I’ve been on this thread a lot. I have one chickens waffles who is always getting sick. She has sour crop so it is quiet common for her to get back up but it seems like she’s getting more and more sick. She is such a fighter and I windless honestly die for her so do any advice please let me know. I can’t take her to the vet because my parents won’t allow it. So this time around I notice that she has a large wound. I clean it and she was ok. Today I notice that her wing feathers are falling off. I was cleaning her cage when I notice her wing was all crooked and when I touch it the feather came off. I don’t know what to do, any advice please let me know

Can you describe the attack some? What was the predator? When did it happen? What has been done to treat the wound?
This info would help immensely.

if she’s just now starting to lose feathers, she could be molting from stress. Sorry your hen isn’t doing well :hugs You said her wing is crooked, can you post photos of the wing unbandaged? I had a hen with a broken wing, and waited too long to do anything for her. She’s still alive and well, but her wing is messed up and at an angle when she flaps.
