coyotes, i think

we had coyotes in the yard a couple weeks ago, an adult & a
half-grown pup. the adult was obviously ill, mangey looking &
staggering (rabies in the local fox population is common, so i
think that it was likely here). i'm guessing if the adult had
it, the pup had or would get, it. i haven't seen them again
anyway.
today, i was feeding the girls treats & noticed that one has
some pretty ugly wounds on her sides under the wings. they
look consistant to bites from a canine. she *was* acting a bit
droopy a couple days ago, but she has also been laying some
pretty huge eggs lately... she's acting just fine now.
i need to catch her to look for infection, but, do chickens
get rabies? what's the best way to treat her for infection? i
can easily crate her for individual treatment. any ideas?
