Chicken got attacked by dog - video

Im working on uploading VID to youtube.
Corn & oats are just for treats, shes used to them.. i give my chickens a few handfuls a day to share between the 10 of them. She gets a complete feed.

The links to a video are going to an "empty album."
Can you try again?

A complete feed is better than corn and oats.
 
A picture is needed if possible. Use some Hibiclens and water or Betadine to clean the wounds, then either saline or Vetericyn is good for cleaning twice a day thereafter. No peroxide. BluKote is only for minor scrapes, not deep wounds. Plain Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Ointment is good to apply on the wounds to help prevent infection, and to prevent them from dring out. I would just feed her mostly the pellets soaked in a lot of water, a bit of scrambled egg or tuna for treats. Sunflower kernels are good too. Keep separated in a dog crate away from flies, but let her have visits with friends to stay part of the flock.
 
Can I find those things at tractor supply? Why no peroxide?

Peroxide is now felt to damage cells and prevent healing. If used once or twice, it is not a big deal, but just don’t use it anymore.
You can find Hibiclens (chlorhexidene) or betadine (Equate First Aid Antiseptic) as well as Triple Antibiotic Ointment at Walmart in the first aid aisle, and Betadine or Vetericyn are in most feed stores but mire $$$. Saline is also at pharmacies or you can make it yourself at home. Add 2 tsp of table salt to a quart (4 cups) of water, boil on low for 15 minutes, and cool.
 
Thanks.
Video is up.

Her oil gland looks fine. Can you see any damage around or to her vent? Has she been pooping? Are there any organs visible in the wound? The video and lighting makes it hard to see close-up into the wound. She looks to be doing well standing. You may want to use a baby TShirt around her to keep her from pecking at her wounds, but she may have been just trying to reach her oil gland back near her tail. Placing her on a clean towel or puppy pads would keep her wound cleaner than pine shavings.
