I recently had a fox come and attack on of my chickens. I rushed her inside the house cleaned her wounds with alcohol and she's now back outside with her flock mates!

Yea she was shook like a dogs toy in its mouth, and when I found her she was barely breathing. She also had multiple bite marks around the neck and breast area. Did this attack happen today?

A whole bunch of her feathers were torn out everywhere!
How old is this chicken who was attacked?

Yes today a couple of hours ago, I've recently moved here surrounded by fields, but I have a piece of land at the end of my garden which is only partly fenced, but I thought was a lovely day I'd let them out there fir a scratch around as I only have the 4 and they all friendly and come to me when I call, I never thought Broad daylight anything would happen, I'd gone to the house to make a drink and go back to do some work up there, I so wished I'd not let them in there :-(
