My flock got attacked by a dog yesterday and one of my girls got beat up badly. I brought her in and cleaned her up and put some scarlet spray on her. She’s not eating or drinking and I gave her a very small baby aspirin for her pain. What can I do to get her eating and drinking….no egg today...
Hey all, so one of my hens was “attacked” by one of my dogs last week Thursday. I say “attacked” because it was more like a stomping, with some pulling of feathers. I was present when it happened so I was able to stop the dog almost immediately. She seemed to be fine aside from being shaken up...

Help! I pulled in my driveway and saw my neighbors dog (who has attacked/killed 2 of my chickens previously) in my yard! I jumped out of the car and got the dog away and I found my turkey laying on the ground barely breathing. I got him up and he’s breathing really fast. He has an open wound on...
Hello, one of my hens has just been attacked by a small dog, she is missing a lot of feathers, some on her back and many of her wing feathers. But besides that she has no other injuries, no bleeding or broken bones, just missing feathers. What should I do to help her? Will she grow her feathers...
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...

Hi,
So yesterday one of my hens was attacked by a neighbours border collie, luckily someone in my family noticed before it did too much damage. It managed to get in somewhere, but I have no clue where, so I’m keeping both of my hens inside my conservatory at the moment. She has one little wound...

A german shepherd jumped a fence down the road from us and apparently came after the chickens. I was not aware at all that anything had happened till the dog was stalking the run. It attacked one of our hens, and with mouth or claws ripped a pretty deep gash in her back about 2 inches long and...
