Is it safe to keep two hurt/sick chickens together?

[Pecky]

One of my chickens was attacked by a dog, and we have been keeping her in the shed away from the other chickens to keep them from hurting her more.
Today the dog attacked another one of my chickens, and I was wondering if it is okay to keep the two chickens together?

We separated the first chicken from the other chickens because they were all pecking her sore spot, but if we put two hurt chickens together will they both peck each other or is it safe?

You can try it. They might be so absorbed with their own issues they won't bother the other one. But it would be nice for them to have company.
Good luck!

Watch over them and gage the situation I would advise.

I had two chickens, a hen and a rooster, who both had a really bad case of pneumonia. While I was treating them I kept them together in the quarantine cage, which is about 3 *3 and was amazed how they acted. The hen and rooster have been mates for life and she actually seemed to be very concerned for him as he was alot sicker than she was. I say put them together, maybe they will keep each other going. I really think that had I separated these two that he would have died.

I would try and keep them together to keep each other company, as in the past when I have seperated a sick chicken from my others sometimes they get lonely and depressed and I find that this causes them to take longer to recover. They both have the same problem and its not contageous so give it a try, but obviously, if they are bothering one another seperate them, but try and keep them so they can see each other. Good luck
