My 8 week old chicks we attacked by my dog it's my first time raising chicks I had three my dog somehow got into my coup killed 1 and left the others injured

We covered them in towels both of them were bitten on there lower back one of them has there liver exposed but is more active than the other one which I haven't checked her injury's very well yet because im scared to hurt her but she is less active and wont even open her eyes I don't know what to do
 
So sorry to hear this. I would clean the wounds and put neosporin without pain reliever in it on them. Keep them inside so that they do not get fly strike. Good luck, it sounds like they have serious injuries.
 
I would wait to see if this last one lives or not since the injuries sound like they might be life threatening with 2 already gone. Then if you decide to get more they would be the same age possibly. With her having injuries it would be hard to stick another chicken with her as it might pick on the wounds. Good luck with your decision and I know you will keep a good eye on the dog. If you can't keep him totally confined away from them I would not get anymore myself. I know you did not want this to happen but now that he has tasted chickens and has killed a couple it will be harder to keep him out of them. So sorry all of this happened to your Chickens.
