Hello, brand new here and need some help. My neigbor's dog got ahold of one of our roosters on monday. He had damage to the area above his tail ( a little bloody). He can walk, but ever since then he has been laying in the nesting boxes at night and coming out during the day, but just sitting under the hen house or in a small herb shrub that we have in the hen pen. The first night he was able to get up to the roost with the other chickens, but hasn't been up there since (as far as I can tell) No blood in poop, but his butt is getting a little sloppy because he hasn't been spending a whole lot of time standing up. How do I know if he has a temperature, internal bleeding or something else? What should I be looking for? Oh, our chicks are 8 weeks old and VERY healthy and sturdy.
