Hawk attack

[My hen house]

my 7 month old black copper maran got attack this morning guessing to be a hawk other than a missing toe and she half way closes one eye she seems to be decent
Her face is a little pale and she doesn't have an big appetite like usually I'm holding her right now and she seems to be sleeping and slowly clucking every once in a while to make sure she's safe
How long should I keep her inside?
any advice

I would do a thorough search to make sure the only thing wrong is the toe. I would thenclean the toe and apply neosporin or vetricyn. Wrap with gauze and vet wrap, but make sure bloodflow is not restricted. I would keep her at least in a cleanish environment till it has started healing.

I'm sorry about your pullet.
Can you post some photos of her injuries and what she looks like?

Have you checked her all over underneath her feathers for any other injuries/puncture wounds?
The closed eye - is it injured or bleeding?

I would try to get some fluids into her. If you have poultry vitamins/electrolytes those would be good, if not a little warmed sugar water.

Hard to know how long to keep her inside - a lot depends on her injuries and how well she comes through shock. She needs to be alert and able to move around/defend herself within the flock before she goes back, but you can cage her within the run/coop if being inside is not an option, just make sure she's protected and won't get chilled.

Have you checked her for puncture wounds? She maybe in shock and should be kept warm in a quite place. Maybe try to offer some sugar water. I'm not medically apt enough to give further instruction but I'm sure someone else may chime in for more advanced advice.

I've been looking at her more and it seems she has just her toe nail is gone and she has some scratches on her back but they are very minor and I don't see anything wrong with her eye but I did give sugar water and chick food which she likes better than her regular food
Her toe was already dried up by the time I saw her but I still wipe it off and put stuff on it

If it's just the toe nail and it's dried up/not bleeding, then I would leave it alone.
If abrasions are very minor, then a little dab of Blu Kote would suffice.
I would still watch the eye to see if she starts opening that - she may have gotten debris in it or bumped it - if you need to flush it out with some saline.

Chick food is fine to give - no problem there.

Photos are always welcome.

She has been stronger and harder to catch she also perches
This is the biggest scratch on her back there are maybe 2 other but they are much smaller the gold is goldenseal

This is her eye that I'm more concerned about she keeps it like that most of the time from what I can see

This is her toe

I'd make a saline solution and rinse her eye out real well and if it looks irritated then a antibacterial eye drop to keep it from getting an infection. She may have been poked in the eye during the struggle.

How long ago was she injured?

The eye, it's hard to tell if the yellow/green is from your goldenseal or if that's bruising.
The angle also looks like there's some swelling under the eye, but hard to tell.
I would flush the eye with saline and apply an eye ointment 2-3 times a day. You can find Terramycin eye ointment at TSC. Watch for more swelling or pus in the eye - if you see pus that needs to be pressed out.

The toe should heal o.k. if you keep it relatively clean.
