I am updating on my pullet who was attacked by a hawk a few weeks ago. Thanks to my dear friends on Backyard Chickens, my Susie has made a full recovery. She still has "war wound scars", but looks beautiful to me. Her feathers are even growing back! Attaching before and after pictures.
Thank again guys! :love :woot

That’s good but my Silkie 💀She’s healed alittle it’s good to see your chicken happy again
 
For my chicken that was attacked, I brought her inside away from the flock and really cleaned her wounds the best I could with warm water and a small amount of soap on a paper towel. Then I carefully sprayed her with Vetericyn (attaching a picture). I thought she lost both of her eyes, but to my surprise she had not.
I kept her inside for a good two weeks so I could make sure she was healing and no infections would happen. I also didn't want the other chicken's to peck at her wounds. I hope this helps and your girl get better soon.
