A friend brought their new puppy over and let her loose in the yard before chickens were put away. The puppy chased and caught one of our 8 week old chicks. The chick was still alive, breathing hard but eyes were closed and neck seemed limp. Wrapped her in a towel and put her in a dark quiet...
These Austrolorps were hatched the first week if Sept along with some Orphingtons. We sexed the orphs long ago but I'll be darned if I can tell if the Austrolorps are hens or Roos! Please help!
