6 days ago I had a raccoon infiltrate my run and kill my small flock all except the rooster and 1 hen. Their injuries seem minor- just missing a few feathers and sore spots behind both their necks. Problem is, since the attack, I can’t get the hen to eat! She drinks plenty water but won’t eat. The only thing I saw her eat was a small bug she found. The rooster has bounced back nicely. I have tried everything-scrambled eggs, mealworms, can corn, wet mash. What can I do?
 
Is she pooping? Have you tried to hold a small cup or tin up to her beak every 2 hours to drink some sugar water or fluids? Dipping her beak may get her started. Very watery chicken feed with a little scrambled egg might tempt her as well. How does how crop feel? Is it emptying overnight? Is she able to walk? Has she been passing any droppings or laying an egg? Any pictures can be helpful.
