I left my four chickens in the backyard today, and my husband ran in yelling about a huge hawk/vulture that he had spotted. I ran to the back to find my favorite chicken's feathers everywhere. I spotted her in a shallow pond that we have that is covered in leaves, so my husband jumped in a pulled her out. She was just lying there in shock, but she soon got up. She is acting herself now, but she is bleeding a lot in the rear. I think this may be simply because half her tail feathers were ripped out. She also had a bloody face which i wiped off. I put rubbing alcohol on all of the cuts. I isolated her in a dog crate and gave her food and water, but I'm not sure if she has eaten or drank yet. I think I am going to give her scrambled eggs. Should I wrap her in gauze on the back? I'm worried about her, but she seems very alert. Is there anything I can do for her?
