    Training/Teaching a dog about chickens

    I have a 9 yr old staffy & he got one of my girls when we first got them.. She didn't die but I disciplined him with a smack and some very harsh words he will never forget and he has been AMAZING since, even shows our girls affection & guards there coop :)

    Hen injured, unknown cause.

    No we don't, I think it's from a hawk also, she was quite shaken up at first and it looked like she'd been in quite a struggle as there where feathers right throughout the coop. Thanks for your input! Hope we have a speedy recovery with her she's a darling.
