Dog attack-possible broken wing

[threehorses]

It's really tough to get those things wrapped. Every break is different, every situation requires its own strategy. Every break we've had here has been different. (Our ducks/geese are all with the horses so occassionally these things happen.)

I hope she's doing well!

Thanks for all the help and encouragement everyone. We did get her wounds cleaned and taped her wing to her body, we could not see a visable break in it more like an issue with the shoulder muscle being hurt.
We put her in a box in the bathtub and fed her water with a old dog medicine needle.
I went to check on her in the middle of the night and she was dead.
Her name was Violet and we buried her beside her friend Delilah who was also killed and planted lavender on there grave.
This only leaves two chickens in the coop who are working on getting accustom to being a couple now. It's a very sad time her, everyone's support and kindness has helped a great deal,
Thanks
CJ

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Apparently she had some inner injury that you couldn't see. That's unfortunately common.

That's beautiful that you planted lavender on their graves. Still I'm so sorry about the whole ordeal for you.

How about the dog? Or preventing further attacks? Dogs always come back - any way we can help you figure out ways to predator proof your coop? There's also a very good predator forum here at BYC with tons of ideas, if you need it.
