Dogs are the #1 cause of injured and slain backyard chickens unfortunatley. I know it has been a tough time for you. Best you can do is keep a close eye on the injured and consider what you need to prevent this from happening again. Observation is key to spotting infections. Best wishes.

Make sure that any anti-biotic you use does NOT have an added painkiller or you could over dose the birds. Cleaning the wounds is important and any red/raw areas need to be covered or the bird has to be separated because the others will peck at the wounds and make it worse. Best Wishes.

You could wait untodark to move them but if injuries are serious act now. The stress is a small price to pay now if you can avoid infection later.

: / That is terrible news! If there is anything I can do to help, just let me know.

lol she is irrepressible. Clearly ready to return to active duty in her mind. I am happy to see she is doing so well.

when a bird wants to live as much as dear Rose it is so demonstrative of the willpower and resilience of a well bred chicken. Every chicken lover should be so lucky to have such a great flock and every chicken deserves to have the love and care that tamaraly has for her flock.

You can PM me any time day or night, no need to ask. That honey should do just fine for your purposes. All natural 100% honey is what you want, raw and unflavored unscented.

Quote: LOL What a great looking flock. I suspect she is going to reintegrate pretty well once she is fully ready for it. You do have a knack for catching these 'kodak' moments. It is always a treat to see those chickens of yours. or honey on a bleeding wound may cause it to bleed even more...

. Lol Rose looks like she is doing great and feeling up to sone light activity and that is good for her. I dont see why some convelecence time with ducks wouldnt be alright just keep an eye on them all. She is just so photogenic! A delight to see.

I agree with Tam.

we are so happy to be able to bring some light and hope to a terrible situation. Always here for you and Rose. Anyone who says it is "just a chicken" fails to appreciate that without these bird, we humans would starve to death within a year. These creatures give their lives so that we can have...

She does look happy. Out does not hurt that the barred coloring she has is just gorgeous. Her comb is so will contoured and bright red. Just a great looking example of her breed.

Any service I can do you and your lovely birds is my honor to perform. I understand your desire to keep your innocent birds from harm but one day illness or injury will come for you again. When that day comes, this will have made you stronger and better able to care for your charges. They know...

Oh that is just fantastic! I know how you feel about the bandage changing...raising animals had made deal with more blood than 4years in the army. I hate to see these gentle creatures hurting but once Rose is back in action you pride in her and knowledge that your chickens are just great hands...

what a sweet image. You've got rose home at this point? Is she having ant difficulty with her vent after the suture? My wife and i are rooting for you both!

I am so very happy that she is recovering well. You've both had a really tough week but now you're out of the woods with the worst of it behind. No pun intended. Congratulations to both of you, dog attacks kill so many chickens every year but Rose odd not going to be one of them.

well bred birds should in my opinion be given a chance to reproduce. Ontop of being able to replace any losses in the flock, a good roo will die to protect his hens without a second thought. It is worth thinking about at the very least. If you would be interested, i could share some pictures of...

It takes a special kind of person to commit so fully to caring for so many lives and as deeply as you clearly do. You should know that your birds are in grwat hands wi=lth you as their steward. Have you considered a breeding program?

What a good looking flock. Rose looks like the cream of your chicken flock. Im not just saying that for her benefit.I've always liked the barred rock.the black on white is classy. I see you have pekin ducks too. Very much looking forwardlooking forward to getting some of my own. Thank you for...

That is a great picture, to be sure! I've become a bit attached to her I have to admit. I have my phone pinging me every time there is a post here. >.> I suspect she will be more lethargic than usual while under the effects of the painkiller but that is not to be worried about too much...
