Dog attack

[Salt Creek Coops]

Hi.
A dog attacked my chickens yesterday. We were out of town. I got home today to the loss of 8 hens and a rooster. One of my girls is hurt. I don’t know what to do for her. I have cleaned her wound. I just don’t want her to suffer. They remaining few are not eating or drinking much today.

Hello,

How deep is the wound? I can't quite tell with the feathers in the way. Also, from what I can see, it looks like you have done a great job cleaning it. Keep it up! As for the other chickens not eating or drinking much, it could be from shock. However, that may not be the case. If the temperature is high where you are, it could just be from that.
Good luck though!

They remaining hens are all fine now! I’m so thankful! This bird laid her first egg since the dog attack today!
