Dog Attacked Chicken, Injured Leg

[wynncreations]

This morning my hens decided to explore into the neighbor's yard and were attacked by dogs. 1 was dead when I came out to do my midmorning pettings. My RIR was down with one of the dogs trying to get her open when I was able to get it off her with a hoe.

I got her back into my yard and she is able to get up and hobble to a corner of the coop it looks like her thigh is missing a 2''x2'' piece of skin and her wing appears to have some messed up feathers on the same side.

Its in the 30s right now, what should I do? Can i save her? I'm trying to get better pics and do a better inspection.

Additional info, she is alert and resting in her coop with my other hen that doesn't appear to be too off(a couple feathers are ruffled where one of the dogs tried to pick her up).

Should I add some heat to help her be comfortable with it being cold right now or just let her rest?

Update: Moved her to the garage into a crate about an hour ago and added the brooder heatlamp up away from the crate a bit just to help raise the temp a bit. She has started standing up and was cooing at me when I checked on her just now. Good signs I reckon.

Update: Rose is resting it seems okay, she talks to me softly when I go out and see her. It has been getting down into the low 30s at night so I've kept her heat lamp on so she is more comfortable and can save her energy for healing. On monday I plan to get her out and do more inspection of her leg and wing situation and check healing progress.

I'm going to continue updating this in case someone else ever runs across this they can see how it goes for me.
