Dog attack and Extreme shock

Continue treating him for shock.Keep him in a warm quiet place (no brights lights)
Try feeding him scrambled eggs to get him to eat.
Agreed! Or raw yolk. Check his injuries again today, see if you see any additional bruising where you didn't see anything before. The fact that he is able to stand for this long is a good sign. See if you can get him to relax in your arms today, wrapped in a towel.
 
He’s not eating, won’t drink hardly anything- and he hasn’t laid down at all. Not even during the night when he was supposed to be sleeping when I checked on him. He’s hunched up and still has green stressed mucus-y poop.

My mom said they found him on his back, I’m wondering if he could’ve injured a rib or had something internal happen?? I was expecting him to be a little more perky today but it’s like he’s almost worse.

I’m at work right now but hopefully he’s okay when I get home.
Please, get some clear photos of his wounds.

He may have been squeezed, look him over for any wounds that have been missed and green bruising to the skin.

With him standing this whole time, he's not feeling well. Make sure he can see, if need be, trim the feathers around his eyes.
Sugar water is good to give or if you have electrolytes.

Wet feed with bits of egg. But he needs hydration first.
 
My irresponsible brother got a new dog a few weeks ago. She’s mostly left my chickens alone but today she got the other two dogs to chase and maul my birds while I was away at church.
They all gained up on my poor sweet Batam roo and ripped his feathers out. His entire back is wet with blood and dog slobber. My parents found him barely breathing. The other hens have feathers missing but they’re fine other than being a little roughed up.

I came home and couldn’t get him out of the corner, I finally got him out on my lap but he keeps trying to go to sleep, can someone please walk me through on getting a bird out of shock, I’m going to Google it as well but I know you guys have tips and tricks coming out of the wazoo.

The picture won’t load right now but his entire saddle is bare and looks like they tore his skin :/ his comb is turning almost black, my poor baby.
Their natural born instinct to hunt prey immediately kicks in when in groups. Unlike wolves dogs don't have a leader .Other dogs can make them submit but can't make them do things they don't want to do.If all the dogs were chasing the chickens its because they all need more training,
 
Thank you for the help <3

He finally started to lay down late last night, slept through the night. he was doing much better today, even started crowing his head off so I put him back outside under adult supervision.

He has dark red splotches on his back I couldn’t get pictures of (he wouldn’t sit still), and I didn’t want to stress him out anymore to check his stomach for bruising, so I’ll try again tomorrow. :/
 
sad update:
I started working and mom had to let the birds out today, Crackhead ran off and wouldn’t let her catch him, so when she let the dogs out she didn’t pay attention and they attacked him.

came home and he was slowly dying so I had my dad euthanize him.
 
Sorry you lost your rooster.He was a beauty! You might want to keep your chickens up .

He was definitely my favorite pet of the list, even outranked my cat 🤣

I’m trying- he wasn’t supposed to be out. Mom thinks she broke her foot and he ran past but she couldn’t catch him- just a long list of unfortunate events.

Work is letting me come in an hour later from now on so at least I can take care of my other chicks.

RIP crackhead ♥️
