Chickens are hard to perform physical exams on - you can't auscultate the lungs and heart like you can a dog or cat and internal body temperature is at the limit of most thermometers normally.

However, if this is a valuable chicken, you can ask for a couple vaccines, mostly for mesogenic Newcastle and for LPAI. A veterinarian who has experience working with poultry can sedate or image your chicken as well if it becomes ill. There are a few medications that your chicken can legally have.

Otherwise, your chicken will probably be fine without too much veterinary oversight.

Can a chicken survive after it is attacked by a fox?

In most cases, if a chicken is attacked by a fox, the chicken will be killed and eaten. If the attack is interrupted, however, the chicken may or may not have suffered fatal injuries. With veterinary care, a chicken can recover from many injuries. However, also note that it is much cheaper to buy a new chicken, than it is to pay for veterinaty care (which can run into the thousands of dollars quite easily).
