Well, I had to do my first "mercy killing".
Poor Nemo needed to be put down. I hated to do it, it broke my heart, but her wing was turning funny colors. It may have been only bruising, but I feared it was gangrene. Next time, if there is a next time, I will do things differently. I hate to lose a good laying hen.
Still no "dangerous" critters in the trap. I'm beginning to think Dinner may have pushed her into the fence & her wing got caught, then some predator probably came along and took advantage of her state. I will probably never know.
