Just had 2 large dogs breach our fences and chicken run, out of 9, 3 confirmed dead, 2 injured but hopeful of survival and a 3rd is fine. 3 are missing but hopefully that they are hiding.
How do I treat the back injury? The other injured chicken may have a broken wing. foot or leg, still undetermined. They are resting in their nest together right now. but am slightly worried about moving. One of the dead, died in my arms. Her back was injured but seemed OK otherwise so I picked her up and was walking around looking for the 3 missing and she startled, then started fading out, losing color in her waddles and eyes started closing. I put her down and she convulsed a few times, I picked her up, and then she died in my arms. Was she in shock and my picking her up make it worse?
Any advice appreciated.
