This is not a new thing for us- puppies killing chickens. We are trying to perfect both their situations so they don't mix. But then things like today happen where the puppy gets out and the chicken happens to have gotten out too. Usually the chicken is dead pretty fast bc they always go for the neck and within a few seconds they are done. But today the main rooster was the one attacked. I saw it all happen and was running for at least 2 minutes thinking he was dead. But surprisingly he wasn't- he just has some missing chest and neck feathers- I don't think there was blood. But I wasn't sure so I just put him in a cage inside the coop. I've read that others attack or peck at the injured. He is the main rooster though so do you think they still would? How long should I leave him in there? I have about 17 ranging from 9 months to 5 months. There are some roosters in the 5 months but they havent crowed. And he really is in charge of all the chickens and the main rooster. Just want to make sure I'm helping him. Thank you for your suggestions
