We had a raccoon attack 2 nights ago - lost over 1/2 of our flock - one of our survivors is a black sex link hen.
She is banged up - but able to walk and amazingly laid an egg for us.
She is drinking water in very small amounts but I can't get her to eat.
Help please - what can I try to entice her to eat?

Does she have throat injuries? Lots of predators grab the throat. Check her very close. If she's drinking, she'll probably eat in a while.
 
There are no outer injuries to her neck than I can see.
Her face is swollen - we've been carefully wiping her eyes - they keep matting up.
Thanks for your help.
