How is Cheeks today?

If she is walking and has no open wounds, just missing feathers, I would place her back with the flock. I have used BluKote to spray bare spots where feathers are missing. It wears off in a few weeks.

We also had a bird dog of ours chase and hurt 3 pullets who flew up and over our chain link fence that kept the chickens out of our backyard. The third one died, and we had ordered a shock collar to train her, so we used it on her once with the body lying in the yard. Just that one time, he learned to avoid the chickens. He also taught the other 2 dogs to avoid the chicken. Later we had 5 chickens who lived in the backyard coop, and they would free range for several years among the dogs with no injuries. However dogs should never be trusted with chicks. We had a new 2 week old get through our poultry netting and w as immediately killed by a dog who did not bother adult chickens. It is asking too much to trust them with little ones.

I second the shock collar. I know a lot of people do not like them, and I get that. My best friend lost 10 chickens at once to her dog, who is otherwise an amazing boy. She tried the collar as a last ditch effort, and it worked like magic. The dog can now be outside when the chickens are and he hasn't shown interest since. Her collar goes from level 1 through like 120, and she's got it set to 3. She used it on her own hands and said she barely felt it, so she was comfortable putting it on the dog.
