Does anyone in the area keep chickens?

We had a fox attack in our chicken coop on Sunday and we've got one that has survived the attack which has left her on her own. Chickens are social animals so I'm thinking of giving her to someone who has other chickens she can join.

She's unhurt because my daughter heard the fox and ran downstairs with the dog, who chased the fox out of the garden. She seems to be much better now, but I didn't think she was going to survive because she was in shock yesterday morning, but she layed an egg today which is a good sign that she is over the shock now.

She's a full size chicken, less than a year old and is laying an egg most days. She was immunised before we bought her and has never been sick. I've attached a photo of the chicken, taken this morning.

Please PM me if you think you might be able to help.

She is welcome to join ours, we are in Kent now though ....... Maybe someone travelling this way?

when i'm walking to work through the small park behind sainsbury's, i often hear a cockerel making itself known. someone around there must have a coop. or maybe this is actually from your coop...

Nope, no cocks in my back garden :-)

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. The chicken has now got a new home with a couple of chickens in a local family and has loads of space to free range in, so is going to be a happy chick :-)
