She is an EE and got attacked by a hawk at 8 or 9 weeks. Now she is 15 weeks and is very small and petite compared to my other chickens. I was wondering if somehow the hawk attack stunted her growth, and if it did, will she still be able to lay eggs okay? She is a very healthy chicken with shiny feathers and is very alert and happy. She eats and drinks alot. Any thoughts appreciated
 
It can happen. If a chicken is put through a traumatic experience, be it attack or illness, it messes with them. I have birds that are stunted for different reasons but they lay everyday and have no idea they are different.
