Our flock got attacked by a fox yesterday morning and 2 survivors have some superficial wounds,nothing deep but one of them keeps laying her head down. Her neck feathers got all plucked out and there are some skin tears but nothing bloody. She was in shock all day yesterday but keeps drinking water with electrolytes and eating some. She also layer an egg this morning but keeps laying her head down. Any suggestions?
 
:welcome I'd make sure that flies are not accessing the wounds - antibacterial ointment could be applied. Try to keep them as calm and cool as is possible.
