dog attacked chicken

I have a neighbor that was letting his dog free to play with our dog. The dog was getting pushy and blocking our dog from coming when we call him, or work when I need him to safely (thorough training) round up the chicken. Just recently 2 of my hens went missing along with my rooster. Our...

I just got home and found my dog trying to eat/play with the chickens. I found one (Dottie) that I thought was dead. She's still breathing. I don't think any organs are punctured. She's not gasping for air. Her crop is punctured, and food was slowly coming out. I stitched the hole closed (not...

My Rottweiler was attacking my hen when I came home, and he ripped off a huge chunk of her skin and ate it. You can slightly see a few of what I think are her organs? we were able to get him away from her and keep her alive for longer, she’s eating, drinking, and standing but she’s still in pain...

Sunday 9/11/22 some time around 9am a neighbors dog attacked my chickens. Got one of my rooster’s and shook him as you could imagine when a dog bites. Rooster fortunately survived but was not moving at all other than moving it’s neck to eat. It’s now Friday and he’s been getting up and walking...

Almost 7yr old female, neutered Husky/Lab mix. She killed one of our roosters this week. Was a sport kill, IMO. No blood, didn't eat it. Just chased it because it ran & broke it's neck I think. I didn't see it; just the after affects of 3 different piles of feathers around the yard then finally...

I have a broody hen, she hatched 4 babies and i had her separated from the coop because the hens are pretty aggressive and attacked my last broody and ruined her clutch. While she was in my yard, some neighbors dogs came over and mauled her pretty bad. She came back but her neck was...

Our new pup got a hold of one of our chickens today. He tore through her feathers and skin. There doesn’t appear to be any bleeding, but her muscles/fat are exposed. Wound is about the size of a baseball just below her neck. I am a first time chicken owner and this is the first wound we have...

We have had chooks for the last 15 years, and apart from recent events and a visit from Mr Fox 5 years ago have been very lucky with our girls. All of our chooks over the years have either been rescued or re homes. Due to an escaped dog from a local holiday home, we now only have one Rhode...

Hi. I am new here. Hoping to get some insight. Long story as short as I can— I’ve had chickens for a month and a half. They were given to me. All of the chickens are active, healthy, shiny feathers, eating drinking and active. They’re free range during the day and cooped at night. They’re...

We lost 13 chickens. 10 came back from the woods. 5 missing all together. 1 8 week old not walking and has been confined for 2 hours with water and air. Stopped open mouth breathing but can’t stand. No bleeding or visible injuries. Legs just handing no response to stimulation. Should we...

I had a meat bird chick attacked by my dog yesterday- mostly just feathers plucked. But the chick is still being lethargic. I would have let it inside but it screamed to be with the others. It’s crop seems to be full and the only outside injury is a slight cut to the skin around the crop...

Help! My 10 day old baby was attacked by my dog. No injury to her body except for her eye. She seems to have a puncture right next to/behind her eye and it’s swollen and unable to close. I have her separated from the other chicks with electrolyte infused water, some crumbles, and a heat source...

Please help!!! We have a chicken and my German Shepard got ahold of it last night and it’s injured very very badly but is still alive today and ate a little earlier. I’ve sprayed blue lotion spray from the farm store and gave it some water with electrolytes and aspirin. Please help! What should...

A dog we’ve been fostering got loose on our chickens yesterday. She attacked one of the chickens by the neck. The chicken is still alive, but she sustained serious injuries. At this point, I don’t know what to do going forward. So far, all that I’ve done is applied hydrogen peroxide regularly...

Hi my name is Bri, Tragedy brought me to this awesome group of chicken lovers. We had a flock of 1yr old ladies. Tragically I came home to my entire flock massacred! The renters dog Nextdoor dug under our fence and killed them. (Husky) I was hoping to find someone in my area who has 1yr old...

Dogs killed 18 chickens inside the serf Last night the dogs entered the chicken coop and killed all the chickens (only 3 chickens remain) I forgot the door is open and this result of the stray dogs 😪

My dogs attacked my poor chicken Henrietta. I know this only happened because she is so friendly/trusting and doesn't run as fast as the other chickens. This is the sweetest chicken there is. She follows me around and stands on my shoulder and arms all the time. I really like her. It's the...
