Chickens can play dead when hunted

Sounds like they are in shock. Do they have any visible wounds that need to be treated?

No, they are fine and well now.

How long was it between the time they killed the chickens and the time you buried?

It 4:30 in the afternoon when I caught them and we buried them at 5:00 in the afternoon.

Yes, they can play dead. Starting as chicks when all else fails they will freeze and try to blend into the environment. What do you plan to do to keep them safe from your dogs?

They will be kind of enclosed and we’re going to do all that we can to protect them.
