The Legbar and Rhodebar lay REALLY blue eggs, right? And aren't they in development still, and expensive?

So Rhodebars lay brown eggs. They're red with buff barring I believe and are an autosex variety. The Cream Crested Legbars lay blue eggs. They can be expensive. I'm being shipped chicks and eggs for the Legbars in spring and eggs for the Rhodebar. I'm picking up some SQ Bourbon Reds this weekend.

I was wondering if anyone had an idea of what might be attacking our chickens.

Here's some details & history:

I'm in Raleigh Hills area of Portland and we just had our chickens attacked by something in our backyard.

We have a pretty large lot with lots of trees & greenspace one 1-1/2 sides of our house. It is well fenced although I think a large rat could probably get through in a few places. The chickens free range all day.

About noon today I noticed our chickens hiding in our backyard and then noticed about 15 silkie feathers on the ground. I found our splash silkie hiding in some ferns. It appears that her leg is slighty injured. There was only a speck of blood and a slight lump there. SHe's a bit wobbly but walking around a bit .

2 days ago I we came home late and found my favorite silkie dead in the corner of our backyard

. No blood that i noticed, she was just lying in a bit of a dirt hole. ??? We though is was our Llasa Apso's, although they hadn't showed aggression towards the chickens before or since the attack & the chickens don't seem to be scared of them or the dogs seem to even notice the chickens.

Any ideas or treatment that i should give to the injured silkie? i will add antibiotics to its water and set up a little nesting area for it that it's resting in. I was thinking of leaving them in the run for a few weeks to avoid any more potential attacks.

Thanks!
