Last night, we woke up to the sound of banging and chicken screams. My dad went outside and shot 2 racoons, and in the morning we looked for chickens. We lost a production red, Goldie, and we couldn't find Debbie and we thought she was dead. But later she woke up and couldn't walk, wasn't clucking and could barely move her neck, but there were no signs of a broken neck. We don't know whats wrong or what to do, so please help!

Could you post pictures please so we can see the injuries....might better help people answer your questions.

Some questions me what are her external injuries?
Is she eating and drinking like normal?

Hi there, I'm so sorry about what happened to your chickens. You didn't mention any other injuries, broken skin, bleeding or anything like that. I don't have much experience with chickens, but your bird is bound to be suffering from shock. Make sure she gets fluids and try encourage her to eat some scrambled eggs and keep her warm and quite.

Good tips, you can give some drops of warmed honey to the bird, it is an immediate restorative.
 
Thanks for the feedback, we think its shock.
And to anyone who wanted me to mention other injuries: she doesn't have any injuries, she just cant walk or move very well.
