Hawk attack

[gymangel812]

A hawk just attacked one of my hens. I'm only seeing a small cut on her comb. She's acting ok. I'm worried she may have internal injuries, the hawk had her pinned to the ground and there are quite a few feathers on the ground. It's supposed to be cold (~40F) tonight. Should i take her inside for the night?

How old is the hen?
I think she'll be fine. Is she acting different?
If you want to bring her inside it wouldn't hurt. I probably would if she was in shock or scared.

I gotta go to bed but hopefully someone more experienced can give you more insight.

If you can take her in and it won't be too jarring to put her out again tomorrow, I would! At least to give her a look over and ease some of the shock. Hawks are ruthless, I'm glad she escaped!
