One chicken left

[Mom 2em All]

Don't give up hope that the other two may still be alive. When my dog attacked my chickens, she killed quite alot of them, and it was heart-breaking, each time I found another dead. I was missing one when I had looked everywhere possible.
She showed up one week later- thirsty with a pale comb-but not injured. I have no idea where she had been.

Thanks for all the advice everyone! My neighbor (the one without the dog) will be taking her in for a while. She says that she has a special area she can set aside in her coop so that my hen can get used to her's. Then I guess I am starting over with a new batch. And to answer the question about deterring the dog again, Colorado has a law that states if a dog(s) is endangering livestock, we have the right to shoot the dog(s). I am a pretty good shot and I got the sherriff involved to not only explain to him my situation, but to let the neighbors with the dog know that if I see the dog on my property again, I will shoot it. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs but not when they are destroying my family.
