Nick and I just got home to find a very injured Chicken. She is missing clumps of feathers and skin off of her back. I really don't think that Pooh did it. He is too protective of her. right now she is enclosed in her pen with fresh food & water. Tonight I will start dousing her back with antiseptic. David said that he would take her for the weekend if we needed him to watch her while we are at DLR.
I really can't think of Pooh doing it. When he came over while I was petting her and moving her into the pen he came over and she was not afraid of him. We have a LOT of feral cats in the neighborhood, along with predatory birds. It could have been another dog, but I didn't see how it could have gotten through the fence and back without a hole...
I am just sick.
I am hoping she will survive this, if not Nickolas is aware that we might have to have her put down.
