I am all for you trying to save her! It may not be easy or fun but I think your kids will feel better if she makes it. I would keep her inside and follow the directions others have given. I just wanted to cheer you on!

You can do it!!

When the dogs got one of my hens last fall I just seperated her from the others and put utter butter ( the stuff in the square green can) on her daily. She healed up fine.

I agree with missprissy. I had a similar situation with a SLW a few years back, her neck was skinned and muscle tissue was exposed. Altho i cleaned the wound and kept things moist as well as keeping her in a sterile environment she ended up loosing the battle 3 weeks into it. Her wound was healing well (i used neosporin without pain reliever) and just about completely closed when she passed. I wish you the best of luck with what ever decision you make

MissP was right

, she didn't even last long enough for me to get to the store and back. My daughter was going out of state today to visit with relatives for a few days so I won't tell her until she comes back, had to hide the fact until she left

. The dog pen is to remain closed even when the dogs aren't out so this doesn't happen again. Also, they are only going to be allowed to free range on the weekends, dh is building a large pen for the rest of the time. When we first got chickens I was really concerned about the eagles, osprey, fisher, and hawks and have only lost 3 birds in the year.....2 to the dogs and one to a screen door (curious roo).

I'm so sorry! Hugs to your daughter.
