I'm sorry if this is a repeat post. I don't have time to search at the moment. My husband has just wrestled one of our hens away from a fox, and she is injured. I can't determine the extent of her injuries, because she is obviously scared and in pain, and is not thrilled about us handling her at the moment. As far as I can tell she has a bad limp, and lost a whole pile of feathers. I have her in the house, in a small cat carrier (so that she can't move around) laying on a folded towel. She is not making any noise, just laying there not moving. What should I do for her??? offer her food and water? I was thinking about making her a small bowl of oatmeal or something warm like that. Should I just let her be for a bit, and then examine her for wounds?? Any help would be greatly appreciated. We have already lost 2 hens to an eagle, and 2 more to the same fox......
