i had 8 rhode island reds all hens,on Friday 2 days ago something attacked them killing one, severely wounding an others leg,and completely tearing off anothers tail.we treated the badly wounded leg and shes doing pretty good considering,my question is the one that had her tail tore off really wont eat or drink without help from me,i have to hold food up so she doesn't have to bend,she barely moves or walks just stands still and when she does walk its as if shes in slow motion.another thing is she used to be the queen bee picking on all the others.could this be a trauma thing or a serious internal injury? i can pick her up with out any issue any help would be appreciated.
 
Sorry to hear about your hen. If you have rescue remedy I would give that (homeopathic treatment) and see if she responds it could be shock. It does sound like she sustained a traumatic injury and I am sorry to say when this has happened to our hens we have culled them to put them out of their misery there was no recovering. I wish you well.
