One of my Barred Rocks was attacked by a dog, through the fence, luckily; but her beak was chewed so badly she can't eat or drink. Is there anything we can do? Any advice would be appreciated.
My rooster, hades, had been lonely after his brother left him to go with all of my other chickens. I had tried to get them together but it didn’t work. I took out a gentle hen who was a golden laced wyodnette hen. The two bonded and he never mated with another hen and took extremely good care of...
My ex-boyfriend has a pitbull on a chain in the yard and he lets all the birds wander around freely. Unsurprisingly, our duck Ponyo must have wandered too close and the dog got ahold of him. My ex rushed out to get Ponyo and he has Ponyo inside now, on a towel with some water and he's been...
My Chickens were attacked by the neighbors dogs. The neighbors are my in-laws.
I was in the shower and heard a commotion. My indoor dogs were barking, but when I came out, they were in the other room looking a different direction. So, I wasn’t too worried, but still went to check. As I looked...
Hello- I've been reading some of the posts about this but wanted to get more specific advice. A dog attacked our flock of 4 hens. One died, one in shock, one is fine, and one is pretty severely injured. The severely injured hen has a nasty tear in her skin and my husband and I are wondering if...
Hello everyone :( I am writing this today with a very heavy heart. I went outside this afternoon, only to find my Polish chicken, Phyllis, and my Sultan, Tip, dead in the grass. It was not a pretty sight. These two were only a month and a half old. Phyllis was sweet, obsessed with people, and...
So our friends brought their dog over and let her off of the leash because she stays pretty close to them. Our hens are free range and weren’t anywhere nearby at the time so we didn’t think much of it. A little while later we heard chickens screaming on the other side of the house. Murphy (the...
I have a 13 year old dog who can be very naughty at times. He has attacked and killed ducks before. This afternoon when the mum was driving the family car past the chicken run. I saw Bob (the dog) attacking a hen. I got out of the car and yelled at Bob, and then I leaned down to get a look at...
Hi all, sorry for the long post but some details might be important!
My flock of chickens were attacked by a dog on Monday, my boyfriend was able to pull the dog off one of the hens and scare it away just in time, however a different one of the young Ameraucana hens (born late April 2017) went...
My dog got ahold of one of my guineas in the yard and gnawed on her back a little and her wings quite a bit. She doesn't seem to have any puncture wounds and I don't see any blood, just missing a few feathers and she couldn't get up. Her legs seem to be fine. I don't know if her wings are broken...
Yesterday our speckled sussex rooster (a little over a year, under 10 lbs) was attacked by the neighbors dog. All of his tail feathers were almost ripped off, he had 2 puncture wounds above his left wing (not very deep, but a puncture). Some skin loss to his back side. We cleaned him up with...
One of my hens slipped under a hole in our fence to cavort with the neighbor roo and got attacked by a dog for her trouble. I found the dog with the hen in it's mouth, hanging by her neck. The dog dropped her and bolted at the sight of me, and I managed to find the hen and bring her back to the...
My young cockerel (Olive Egger) has been dog attacked. Looks fine overall. Minor cuts and bruises, some broken shafts. But he won't move his left leg too much. Felt his hips, joints and feet. Don't feel any breaks, leg is kind of loose. He is favouring his left, and lying down more on his left...
I have a 2 month old Bantam Cochin Rooster (at least I think he's a Cochin) who got attacked by my dog! The chickens were out in the yard and when my mom went out to put them away she saw my brave Little rooster seemingly dead at my stupid dog's feet.:( She thought he was dead but when she...
