Shocked hen, rescued from Fox.

[GhettoRoo]

Short story: Run after fox, screaming, walkin around, and saw hen lying down as dead, walked closer, she get up and bit hysterical try to run, I catch it and now put in one cage, with water with vitamins and chicken food, made her place dark, to just chill one evening, and night, in morning she should be tryin to eat smth.
Anymore else suggestions how to rehabilitate a chicken?
I had done in succesfully before, but then was winter, and I put my 7 months old rooster in my room, next to warm furnace.

P.S, 2-0 score versus fox. Previous time I saw fox runing, so I run after it outright, and he released a hen.

She dont have big scars, looks like she has got taken in mouth by neck and face side.

If you have a local vet that handles poultry, take her immediately.
You sound like you have given her great treatment. Try to put some Neosporin on her wounds, but keep it away from actively bleeding ones.
Make sure not to put her back in with the other chickens too soon, or cannibalism will commence.
Just keep her happy and warm and quiet.
I wish her the best recovery!

Keep me posted!

I keep my hens wrapped in a towel and in a box in my house. Stay near her and keep her in a dark room. It should keep her quit. Make sure she has plenty of water and food. Soft food is better. Yogurt (plain preferably) mashed pass or carrots. Good luck!

I had a hen that was horribly mauled by a dog attack. Torn skin and exposed flesh and muscle on her back and sides. She could also hardly walk. I almost put her down but thought to try and keep her quiet. Let the wounds be. No creams or salves. The surface of the wounded areas will dry and skin over, making a seal against bugs and other infectious things. Keep her in dim light and quiet for a couple of days with a bowl of food and water that you have added a teaspoon of natural cider vinegar to (organic type with the "mother" from a health food store or Whole Foods. Not generic over the counter stuff) that she can't tip over. See how she is in a couple of days. If she has perked up and shows no outward sign of any wounds, she can go back with the other chickens after you have wiped off any blood stains from her feathers.. If there are any wounds showing, do NOT put her with the others until they have healed. The other chickens might kill her by attacking the wounds.

The wounded hen I had stayed separated from the others for about two months and then she was allowed back with supervision. The others left her alone so she was allowed to stay. She has mostly recovered though she hasn't laid any eggs since then and walks a bit lopsided and has some missing chunks of feathers but she is happy otherwise.

She is second day with flock.
The one of interesting things, effects, is that, she was about to go broody, I bet she would the one who ''kluk-kluk-'' for a month, and then stop.
And now she is very curious and strange, bet she free range and lay eggs.
