I went to check on the animals today and I noticed a chicken looking at Lady on her nest. So I too went in and looked at Lady on the nest and all I could see was blood.
Lady was attacked by a fox or perhaps goanna and took lots of feathers out and punctured her right wing. Nothing is broken, there is just lots of blood and a big wound. We wrapped her up to stop the bleeding and then rushed her to the vets. The vet bandaged her wing and then started her on a dose of antibiotics.
We are going to keep the animals penned for the next few days and hopefully the fox will go away. Our freezer in the shed died and it wreaked of death so we think that it may have attracted the animals.
I will keep you updated of Lady's progress.

Oh, sorry to hear your chicken got hurt. I was glad to see she was healing in a more recent entry. :)
