Post-hawk attack first aid: emergency!

Well, she is doing better. Standing up now and squeaks when anyone comes up to the door of her pen. (squeaking is what she does instead of clucking). Doesn't seem to have drunk any water yet. A lot of the other chickens are gathered around, or under, her elevated pen...must be visiting hours!
If she continues to improve, should we keep her confined overnight, or let her roost with the others?
I'm glad Fifi's improving too. Watch out...our chicks stayed in our house for four months over the winter and got REALLY spoiled...they loved it!

I am glad to hear Squeak is able to have visiting hours now!!

OH don't tell me 4 months

I am telling you she better start laying eggs to pay her rent on my plastic storeage bin she is using!!

I'm no expert, but I would think that if there are no visible injuries for the others to peck at she would be better off in the general population. They keep each other warm at night and it will keep her from getting depressed at being by herself.

We kept her in the pen overnight, just to be on the safe side. By evening she was pounding on the door wanting out, and eating Triscuit crumbs. This morning my son let her out and said she staggered when she hit the ground, but seems ok since then, and re-united with her friends! Yea! The only weird thing is, they all have been hiding in the barn all morning on this beautiful day. No sign of the hawk that we can see. I think they're just being really cautious; they seem to be all here. Thanks everyone.
