My chickens were attacked by my mom's dogs. 3 hens, we're alive but we're injured so badly we had to send them over the rainbow bridge. Another hen, whom just has a few missing feathers initially seemed nervous but has bounced back and is with the main flock. I had another hen, in with the banty flock, that didn't make it. I didn't see any injuries or marks, and she was walking just fine...although I suspected either a lash egg, egg bound or infection. She hadn't laid for about a week. Didn't know who wasn't the one laying until I found her. All other flock members seem ok, no injuries. Just unsure. Which is totally understandable. Dogs had gotten in the chicken pen. I had a rooster that seems ok. Other than missing half his feathers and a depleted ego, he seems fine, except just so scared and nervous. I have separated him in a separate cage with food and water. I put a heat plate in the one corner of the cage, it was 45 degrees this morning, but feels like 30s due to wind chill. We've just had 4-5 days of straight rain and wind, so everything is just a muddy, soaked mess. I have put vitamins in his water as well. What else can I do for him?
