Two and a half days ago our chickens were attacked. One's head was gone, 5 were taken, and one we thought dead is alive. She is an isa brown and a little over a year old.
We have her isolated and comfortable. The first day we were able to give her a little water with a straw but she hardly moved. We basically left her alone. The second day she was more alert. She ate a little feed and took water by straw. Today she is even more alert...again eating and drinking a little. My concern is that she barely moves and won't get up.
Apart from missing feathers on her neck area we have not noticed any punctures or blood. We did stand her up today and noticed that she will not stand on her own and is favoring her right leg. It does not look broken but is a little swollen. Her neck may also be swollen where the predator tried to grab her but this is my first time with chickens and I am not sure what is normal. I am also pretty certain that she is not using the bathroom.
I am not sure what to do.
