One of our chickens was attacked by a hawk. I heard the others clucking loudly and went to see what was wrong. When I got outside there were feathers on the ground and my favorite chicken, Speckles, on the ground and I thought she was dead, because she was laying over on her side. I saw her blink and picked her up and took her inside and placed her in a lined basket. There was no visible blood or damage, but she is just sitting/laying there. I know there could be internal damage, like spinal injuries or such, but it could also be fear induced paralysis. If it is fear induced paralysis does anyone know how long it could last? It happened earlier today, but I don't really know what to do for her at this point.
So the big question is how long could this last and has anyone had a similar occurrence?
