Hen attacked by bobcat, in shock

[charliecleveland]

TLDR; chicken attacked, no visible injuries, how long to keep her in the house due to shock?

Hi all! One of my hens was attacked by a bobcat yesterday (in broad daylight!) but I was able to scare it off before anything happened. I heard the alarm bells and went running to save my girls! She lost a lot of feathers but no bodily injuries. Her eye might have a little bit of dried blood on it but it looks okay and opening/closing normally. She’s obviously in shock so I separated her, syringe fed her egg yolk, and gave her electrolyte water. She’s perking up! She even pooped on me while feeding her. How long should I keep her separated in the house?

If she's eating and drinking, I'd go ahead and put her back with the flock and just keep an eye on her. I had one of mine go into shock from a hawk attack (uninjured) and after some sugar water, she was back to her normal self and wanted to be with the flock.

Edited to add: double check she doesn't have any hidden injuries first.

Bold bobcat will probably be back...
