I started with 10 chickens and lost one to unknown cause and one to a suspected neighbor dog attack. Two disappeared at the same time as the probable dog attack. That was about 6 weeks ago. Well the day before yesterday one of the two MIA's showed up at a neighbors place. I went and got her and she is limping bad. I felt around her leg and thigh and am unable to pull her thigh away from her body. Does anyone have any advise on what I should do. I live in the middle of nowhere and doubt our dogs vet would treat but I suppose I could ask. I am also wondering if I should try to put her back with her flock mates in a week or so. I don't want them to brutalize her after all she has been through. She is very skinny but eating and drinking normally. I can't believe she survived. She is a red sex link and I have always heard they are not very good foragers but somehow she managed. I have no idea how old the injury is, whether it was at the time of the attack or just before she showed up at the neighbors.
