Update: HTB went back in with the other girls last night - although she doesn't seem to be able to get up on the nesting boxes she was alive & well this morning. She doesn't seem to be getting pecked or anything and ventured outside a little today.
She's still hobling but seems to be improving more outside with her friends than she was in here.

SADLY though we had another attack today
Looking out the window i could see feathers near tree's near the house, went outside and sure enough quite a few feathers there, ran down and locked up the girls to notice that Dora was missing - yelling out to her (she's normally the first there when you call) and she was gone
Got the girls on the qquad and rode around only to find her coming out from behind the shed area down near the creek, she was walking, not hiding and seems active enough but has a cut around her vent.
I can't tell how serious it is as she's quite active so i have to hang her upside to check it but it looks long but not deep and not bleeding too much, i am making up a saline spray to spray on there and once DP is home will get him to hold her so i can pop some betadine on it... maybe a day or 2 inside with saline washes & betadine and she might be fine to go back down once the wound dries?

Needless to say our bigger dog is locked up with 2 leads in the front yard, we have no idea why she's after the chooks now (for a game we assume) and why she's so intent on digging out of the front yard as she hasn't done that in ages

DD1 is devestated as it's her chicken, so HOPEFULLY being that she's active we should be ok with her too... a little worried about the cut being near her vent though and the chance of infection?
