Another dog attack

[Cragg Klefor]

This time, it was my dog, not the neighbor's. She had been around the chickens plenty of times, but I guess she was bored, got loose and decided to work them over.

4 - with minor or no injuries
1 - has been completely skinned on her left side (the "alpha hen" named Colonel mentioned here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/dog-attack-nuclear-poop.1275300/), it's full of dirt, and I'm not going to be able to save her this time, so I'm going to euthanize the poor thing tonight. Hate to since I'm sure she fought again to protect the others
1 - KIA. Rip Virgil. You were a goofy Barred Rock who loved to come get treats from me.
7 - MIA. It's dark now, too dark to look. My hopes are they find a safe roost tonight and come back tomorrow for food and water, providing they survive the coyotes and skunks that frequently try to visit their coop. One is a cockerel, which would make me feel better, but he's still too young to know he's not just the lowest hen in the pecking order​

Pretty sure one of the missing Buff Orpingtons (Buffy that is also mentioned in that thread) is either dead or severely injured. Found a huge pile of feathers that looked like hers (although I have two other Buff Orpingtons that I can't find, but you get to know your girls, right?), and she's one of my favorites. Certainly hope it's not my "pet", Bar-B Q, who is a Buff Orpington pullet. She will come when called and beg to be picked up. She didn't come when I called.

Don't need any medical advice, just venting frustrations at my own stupid dog and this forum is for "injuries".

Very sorry to hear, horrible thing to have happen. Good luck with your recoveries!

Bar-B showed up yesterday, uninjured. Rest are still MIA. Thought they would come home to roost, guess they are gone for good.
