Hawk attack limping chick

[gardensgirl]

I went in the house for one second, heard a screech....ran outside and a hawk had my 6 week ols brahma (Blanca). I screamed and the hawk dropped her. She has a tiny puncture wound on her butt, I cleansed it with saline, and put some triple antibiotic ointment on it...also gave her some rescue remedy homeopathic. She is limping if she tries to walk, but doesn't want to. She has been just resting since it happened, and isn't drinking or eating. From your experiences, do you think she'll be ok? Is there anything else I should do?

I would say all you can do is wait. If she doesn't start to eat and drink soon that probably isn't a good sign.

Try and keep her warm and maybe isolated in a dog crate or something out in the coop so she can rest, she's probably in a bit of shock. Good Luck.
