That is what coons like to do, take off the heads. A farmer told me it is because they like the combs. Anyway we trapped coons here in TX and found that when we put bacon in the trap, we caught a coon. They love the smell of bacon. Glad your hen is doing better.

I just have to put in my two cents here. I have a small dog that is a rat terrier and a large dog that is a mix (rescue dog) Setter and lab type. I completely agree with you on the training. I spent time letting my dogs know that they are not to mess with the chickens, but praised them...
I have 2 white rock and 1 Welsummer and 1 buff Cornish Broody hens. I cannot break them from this habit. The Cornish has just been separated from her brood. She may be starting to lay again, but she will sit if left with eggs. The Welsummer also had a brood last summer, and is not doing...
