The hawk attacked my favorite silkie (gorgeous black hen from Destiny/Amy who won BV in two shows) by slamming down on the net and grabbing the silkie through the net (the only semi-low spot. 4 ft high. for the net in the whole run) and when I arrived she appeared dead (the hawk let go right when I got there). I held her and she made some gasps for air with her tongue sticking out, limp in my arms. I think the hawk held onto her for at least a few minutes because the chickens were all screaming about the hawk so long before I got there. I finally went over just to see what was going on (wish I had gone sooner). At this point she is back to standing and even drank a little. She has a little blood near the ear on her head, so I assume might have brain damage and internal bleeding. Please pray for her. I figure if she survives the night she might recover.
