Chickens attacked but not injured - question

[Wysteriouschickster]

Good morning!

My chickens were attacked early this morning. Two were missing but one just came out of hiding so now we’re only down one. Hoping that that one’s alive but don’t know yet obviously.

Meanwhile, one of the others had a lot of her tail feathers pulled out. She isn’t bleeding and doesn’t seem physically damaged - I can see her skin and it looks fine, just missing a LOT of feathers.

Is she likely to be ok in the run with the rest of the flock? Do you think I need to worry about her getting picked on etc?

Thanks for any and all advice!

I would just keep an eye on things. If her skin is not red she should be okay. If she is red, a little dab of blue food coloring may be enough to solve the problem. Good luck!
