Hen attacked by eagle, i scared it away but she’s injured. HELP PLEASE

That she's still alive says a lot for her tenacity and willingness to pull through this tragedy. I recommend that you continue with the egg yolk enriched meals (the white is not as tasty, and is often ignored). You may also consider adding a tinned meat protein/calorie source as well, something like canned mackerel, tuna or sardines packed in oil, these products have a very favorable amino acid profile while elevating her protein intake to help her body heal. I think putting her 'next door' to her flock in that separate area is an excellent idea, it will reduce the risk of her losing her place in the pecking order. I'm guessing that the veterinarian will want to put a couple of stitches in her neck to help her properly swallow her food, (and allow it to find her crop). A squirt of larvicid / antibiotic spray on the most noticeable wounds will help her avoid being pecked once she's reintegrated with the flock.
Keeping you and your feathered family in my prayers.
