Chick got lick lots by dog

[MissE]

How many chicks did you start with and how many have you lost?

 

[Mutchi]

I started with about 45 and lost 10

I'm so sorry for your loss-
Will her sister be okay without her?

I don't know....

 

[MarshyRooster]

I have had several pairs/trios in birds, but while I've lost some birds in bigger groups, I haven't lost any in the pairs/trios. So, I don't really have experience with that sort of thing.
Does anyone else have any ideas?

They were 2 peas in a pod. But I hope she is OK. And doesn't stress too much...

If she seems to be suffering, then you should probably do something...
but if she seems okay as of now, then I think it's probably best just to keep a close eye on her and hope for the best.

Ok but she's the only polish left and when I put her with the older flock then she might get picked on and we can't buy more polishes cus they would be too young...

 

[Mutchi]

What should I do if she is suffering...

 

[MarshyRooster]

A: the only polish chick, or the only chick at all in her brooder? I've had good experiences with mixing breeds- maybe you could put another chick of a different breed in there to keep her company.
B: I'm not sure- I think that my suggestion above would help with suffering, but aside from that, I don't really know. You might want to do a little research on it.
