Wounded duck

Yes we have bobcats, foxes, eagles, hawks and coyote possum and armadillo. Havent seen weasels but ....... It is fully covered and the gap at the door is at the top corner, is only about 4" if something gets in it will earn it. We think we found where she caught her wing in the top edge of the wire on the bottom of pen. It was unwrapped from the chain link. We fixed it. She is doing a lot better. Bleeding stopped. We cut the feathers away from it and put a good thick layer of triple antibiotic on it. Going to put her back out in a few. Letting her dry off a bit from the tub
If its chain link and not fully covered, a weasel, rat, snake etc could get in. Of course, I don't know your location and what predators are local to your area. I'm not thinking weasel as they usually cause lots more carnage and can take out whole flocks.
I have a similar set up, so not making any judgements here either.

Is there anything she could have hurt herself on?

Oh good. I'm glad you found and fixed what she got hurt on. I'm sure she will heal in no time and be glad to be back with the flock!

Just put her back out. This is the first time ive had anything like this happen. The other times it was stray dogs getting in the coop and it was over. Im better prepared this time.
