After I counted them and the rest inside I noticed one was still missing. I found her under our patio where I had found the other two although they were unharmed. I believe it to be a raccoon that attacked her as we’ve had a problem with them but usually they come some time after dark and this wasn’t long after.
She has three separate wounds, a smaller one on the neck, the large one on its back and another small one down further on her back. She has been isolated from the other hens and survived the night. She has been eagerly drinking, poop is normal and to my knowledge has been eating. She is walking and got up normally with a slight wobble. The wound isn’t as deep as it looks in last night’s photos
