My name is Laura I've had my 10 chickens for about a yr and 3 months now. They've taught me quite a bit but still having a lot of firsts. I'm currently quarantine-ing one of my Jersey hens who had a non violent yet still traumatic experience with the dog. She is recovering from shock and some torn skin from her feathers being pulled out. I've bathed her and sprayed her with some wound care spray and filled a large cat crate with hay where it's quiet and warm. She's got electrolytes in her water and food available if she wants it. She's drinking more than eating but I've read that's ok when recovering from shock. She slept on me after her bath for 5 hrs yesterday. She's been alternately sleeping and drinking and walking around in her quarantine room today. She seems to be coming out ok but I'm wondering if there's something else I should be doing. Im going to get her a high protein food for her feathers after she recovers fully from shock.
