So when I go outside I usually count my chickens. And there is usually six, but this time there was seven! We had a chicken go missing two or three months ago and haven’t heard or seen of her since. Then last night our neighbors dog got attacked by a skunk and mysteriously the next day the lost chicken returned. The chicken is all scraggly and beat up. I caught her and she was infested with lice and has a open wound where the bottom of her beak meets her neck. Her neck feathers are bloodstained, and she did not struggle much after I caught her. I have dusted her with DE and put her in a dog cage so she can’t run off. Advice on what to do next? Could she have possibly be attacked and survived?
