While on break at work I found your thread and sat and read your posts.
My heart, thoughts and prayers are going out for you and your family. Please stay strong - I can only imagine how difficult this must be but please know that we are all here for you. I hope you can feel our support...
We are on really good terms with the neighbors - she is a huge animal lover - and was very upset. They figured out how the dog got out on the night of the attack and fixed that.
I"m so glad for BYC you all really saved James Bond!
Thanks
hi
Been gone for 5 days - Dh was nurse.
James was crowing to beat the band a few days ago - and is now back with the girls in the coop. No pecking - all seems well.
Thanks for all the advice!
He seems like he is doing great...
will post current photo when I see him on Thursday am!
Thanks

Hi
James is drinking well - he is not eating at all (I gave him mash). I have cut out the electrolytes and have not peroxided him since yesterday am(Thursday) - He is standing all the time.
He seems alert - maybe 10% of his normal self.
Our spirits are lifted!
Thanks for all the advice!

Wow
What a difference a day makes! When I went to refill the water and offer the mash James was up trying to drink! I was using a small waterer (like when they were baby chicks) well he had knocked it over - Thanks Pollysmom - I remembered what you said and quickly got our spare waterer that...
We went to give him medicated water - he would drink some while I held him.
He still will not eat. BUT I think we saw a sign of progress - he was turning his head and looking around while we were talking to him. YES!
I washed him with peroxide again - he jumped off my lap and walked fast back...
Thanks JJ -
I have crushed the asprin up a gallon of water and will give that to him after I pen up the other birds for the night.
I was able to force him to drink electrolye water earlier today but he won't touch the eggs - I held them up to his mouth but he wouldn't open.
He isn't laying down...
Wow so much info - I've been writing it down. Thanks so very much.
I moved James to the basement - where we dont' usually hang out, that way he can have some quiet. Should I leave it dark or put on a light?
He has been making little coo sounds often - he does not appear to be eating (I gave...
Thanks so much - that was great advice and I'll need to read it several times to digest it all.
I went out to check on James after my second post and saw him get pecked several times -James didn't even move when they were pecking him so I went to the neighbor (the owner of the dog) and asked to...
Here is a try at the images!

This is the only wound - but alot of feathers are missing in another spot. I picked the three best photos but it is all the same injury.
Thanks for any advice -

My neighbor called (very upset - her dog jumped the fence and attacked my roo).
We have only had chickens for 7 months (1 roo - 11 pullets) and I have never done this type of thing before. I have been reading posts on BYC since we got the chicks as day olds in April - so I sorta knew what to...
