i feel so bad just got hoe from work let the dogs out and forgot i let the chickens into the grassy bit this morning came inside and heard squealing mt little pat terrier had one lady by the neck trying to kill her!!!!! i opened his mouth and she ran into a corner to hide she the walked out and ran but i managed to pick her up she seems a bit wobbly but ok cant see any blood what should i do feel so so bad cant stop crying should i give us both some rescue remedy should i bring her in for the night or do you think she is better in the shed with the other ladies

i would say bring her in and keep quiet and warm,she will go into shock.
my westi x had one of ours the other day and couldnt walk properly for days(the cockerel that is).but this happened on a v sunny afternoon.so left him out with his friend.ok now though.
would be concerned with the damp,and with shock you may lose her.
im no expert,but see what others think also.

omg thats terrible i hope an pray shes be fine just keep her quiet in a darkened area or on your lap pampering her  which ever she perfers .

she was very lucky .

[poultrygeist]

Give her a really good, gentle check over to see if there's any sore spots. She could have internal injuries or breaks.
As poppie says, shock is a worry.

i just rang the vet and they told me to leave her in the shed but was not a chickens vet she has know outside injuries it is my chicken aswell my lovely sweet cuddley one

There is really nothing you can do except give her warmth , quiet and prefereably darkness.
It may be that you will offset the onset of the shock that she will develop and hopefully by morning you will know the outcome.
I lost a very beautiful female fantail the other week to my dog who just was faster than she was. I was mortified and have changed the door on the conservatory to a stable door so we can check the garden and see if the doves or the chickens are on the ground on the dogs side of the fence.
I feel for you.
Hope things turn out ok.

awwww noooo.that is awful,i really do feel for you right now
 i can't give any advice but i can give you my very best wishes XXXX

[pawsnclaws]

right i put her in her bed for a bit earlier and she had a rest she is eating and drinking fine then lifted her out to see if she had any interest in helping me dig for worms and she did think she is going to be ok she then stayed out for 10 mins and it was time for bed she followed me to the shed and ate some more and had some lettuce there favorite and are now all snuggled up in there beds so hopefully she will still be with me in the morning fingers crossed

I think you have done the right thing, if she is mobile, without any evidence of more serious injury, by that I mean broken skin, limping, dropped wing, then popping her back where she feels safe and comfortable is the best thing. Stress in these circumstances can be a killer. If it is at all possible, keep the dog far away from the chooks, for the time being, as it is a bit like surviving a fox attack then seeing the fox!
Good luck, I hope she is back to her usual self tommorrow!

blooming dog although i know it was my fault and that is wat the dog is bred to do my staffordshire bull terrier just cowed down and would not go near them bless his little cotton socks he is so good

[woodside farm]

I have got a Maran cockerel who was dragged through stock fencing by a fox, last year, luckily I got there in time, and saved him, I thought he wouldn't survive as he had puncture wounds and was in shock, I kept hime seperate for a couple of days and treated his wounds, this year he has fathered loads of chicks  .
Good Luck,
