Dog and 3-4 week old chick

[BlackRose89]

Apparently my white leghorn (my favorite and most friendly chick) jumped out of the box and my dogs got to her. She's cold but alive, wet from slobber, and aside from a little blood where she lost a few feathers I think she's not got anything broken. I've got her separated and under a heat lamp trying to warm her up, what can I do to help? Just food and water close and let her rest?

Chick looks rough, but she's gonna be fine. The dogs did more licking and plucking than anything, so she's missing feathers but eating, drinking, and back in with the other chicks now. I tried putting her in a box beside them and she wouldn't have it.

Glad to hear she's ok! Dogs & cats love furry, fast moving things that make noise - think toys

My Beagles love to sit by the brooder with me when I tend to the chicks, they are good, but I wouldn't trust them unsupervised, the temptation would be too great!

If I'm not home the dogs get pinned up where they can't get to them, but I'm a stay at home mom so that doesn't happen much. This happened while I was home and I was sure poor thing was dead when I found her, but I didn't even hear an unusually loud ruckus from in there.
