Injured chickens after dog attack

[Clucktown]

I am so irate right now. We found out who the dog that attacked our chickens belongs to. She came by last night and said sorry which doesn't feel like anything after losing 5 chickens and still having 3 injured. Even more so after finding out a bit ago that it has killed quite a few other chickens from other neighbors recently not just ours.

Sounds like time for the 3 S's - Shotgun, Shovel, and Shut-up

I came out of my house yesterday and found a dog that we have never seen before 2 days ago chewing on one of my hens. I got over to find her dead so we went looking for the other 11 hens. After a 6 hour search we found 3 dead and 5 injured and 4 not injured. They range in the ages of 6 months to 5 years old. The injured ones (some worse than others) all have tears and holes in their back and one also has a broken wing on top of those injuries she is 5 yrs old and the one that is injured the worst is wheezing and i think she might have a punctured lung she is also 5yrs old, the other 3 injured are 1is 2 yrs old and 2 are 6 months. I am frustrated and very saddened by all of this and vet is not an option. All 5 injured made it through the night. I do not have any pictures yet. By the time we found them all and put the survivors up it was dark out. Will be doing a more thorough look at them today and cleaning them up more. Any help is appreciated.

Meant to post an update last week but had a lot going on. Update on this week day 18 : the girls are doing really well and they are still all bug free. The wounds are healing nicely still the main one i keep an eye on is the wound on Mocha's thigh area since it was a deeper wound and not just a bad tear. I've spread out the cleanings more is usually every few days unless I see something at bit off. Last week I got the scabs and stuck feathers trimmed down and they've removed some their selves. Mocha's wing is doing a bit better I had made her a bed on the floor since she can't fly with her wing injured but over the weekend I went out to check on them before I went to bed and Mocha was up sleeping in one of their nests which sits a couple feet from the floor. She finally had the strength to hop up into it to sleep which made me very happy she's also gotten some of her fiestiness back. Layla and Violet have both picked most of their scabs off but their wounds are looking great. Not sure what's going on with one of my other girls that didn't get injured. The last 4 days she's been acting off. Moving slow, sitting by herself some and sleeping on the bottom roost or on the floor. She's our resident poopy butt. I keep an eye on her and clean her butt and trim the feathers when it needs it because early summer she had fly strike which i luckily caught early on so I keep an eye on her. I got her butt all cleaned up and there's no sores or anything but it was a little pinkish like it might be a little raw so I put ointment on it. I just can't figure out what's wrong with her. Maybe the colder weather? Trauma stress? She had heat stress for a bit over the summer but it's been a lot cooler. This is the first year we've had any health problems with any of them including heat stress so idk. Any ideas? I took some updated wound photos. Big milestone today for them. We closed up all the gates and today was the first time they have came out of their pen and coop to free range since the attack. Before now none of them have wanted to leave either.
