Chick attacked by dogs!

[MamaGrizzz]

She woke me up this morning chirping. I'm sure she's slightly painful but she's not acting too bad. Very alert and standing.

Sounds promising! Good luck.

Anyone have any suggestions on how long to keep her separated?
She's getting pretty fond of me, I might have to start bringing the other chicks in one at a time
She has no red spots, but I'm worried about her going from a/c to the AZ heat abruptly. Thoughts?

I kept my badly injured Polish completely separated for 5 days and then used a netting tunnel attached to a dog crate inside the run to allow her to be with (but not in reach) of flock mates for another 2 days. I then reintegrated her with the flock, without trouble. I took her inside twice a day to clean her wounds.

She has made a full recovery.

Apply blue kote to wounds. Then release outside in separate pen in morning while cool. This will acclimation to heat. Following day attempt re-intregration.

I've been using the blu-kote and now understand why people swear by it!
Her head is looking fantastic and the dye keeps it from being red at all so I'm not too worried about the reintroduction as far as that's concerned, just my two roos being jerks, so I might try the intro after having her out there a bit, but if the boys get crazy I'll be moving them to a friends house sooner than I had planned.
I'm really attached to this girl now. As a kid I was terrified of chickens so this is a big step for me. She falls asleep in my hands as I'm cleaning her wounds (as long as its not peroxide, she's not a fan of that and pecks me to let me know). She gets really excited when I go into the bathroom where she's kept. Just too cute, I had no idea birds could be like "pets" and be affectionate
So now I'm feeling a bit overprotective of her lol
