dog attack

[ldripe]

Help my lab got a hold of my rooster. Tore off some back feathers. I don't see anymore damage. He is alive but just wants to lay in one spot and not move much. I am new to chickens and I am at a lose on what to do for this poor guy

Hey, I just had the same type of attack but with a hen. Just let the rooster rest, he may act a little traumatized. Also check for any punctures or bleeding and keep an eye on him. If you let him free range keep him up for the rest of the day.

My blood hound had pinned 1 or 2 of my girls, both times the chickens got out of thier run by mistake. A few feathers was all she got. I checked for injury never found anything and they are all doing fine. Check him over, keep an eye on him for a few days. As long as he isn't acting hurt and you can't find blood he should be ok soon

Thank you so much for the advice. I just checked on him again and he is looking some better. I have him in a isolation pen so the others will not bother him. He isn't drinking or eating yet but he does seem to hold his head up more. I couldn't find any puncture marks or blood at all.
Have a great Easter
