Fox attack

Our chickens were attacked while in their caged run this morning. One must have had her tail feathers poking through the cage enough for the fox to grab them and completely rip out her tail feathers (all but one). Other than that issue, do these pictures indicate any additional damage? I don’t know much about their anatomy and what looks normal vs cause for concern. The are is obviously very red and tender.

P.S. disregard the foam bubbles they’re from her soak as I was trying to clean and calm her (and deal with her poopy butt issue)

Thanks!
