Hi all, arrived home today to find one of my chickens have been attacked. It’s the first time it’s happened and I’m not sure by what – our cats have never bothered with them in the past. She’s clearly shocked and looks to have had a good shaking round by the neck. She’s able to wobble about and her head looks to be OK. I’ve put her in a box, in the dark, in the workshop with a bit of food and water. I’ll check her out in the morning.
Any advice please? I guess I will just have to monitor the situation?

If she's not her usual self in the morning I'd get her to a vet for pain relief and antibiotics

Rob - Do you think it was a cat/your cat?  I've just bought my first coop and by the weekend the chickens should follow.

My cat is a horror for catching all sorts, even a pigeon a time or two.

Now I'm wondering.

I hope she's already recovered y the time you read this.

i dont think it was our cats, they have never really bothered with them in the past. In fact one has no teeth, however she is still a good mouse catcher!

whilst not impossible it would be unusual for it to be a cat
