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.

OOoohhh, poor Chicken. I hope she makes it.

I'm so sorry MG! It could have been feral cats or some other wild critter, it's hard to tell. The poor little thing. I hope she can recover, be careful of infections.
I know you two were looking forward to your weekend away at DLR. I hope you are still able to enjoy it and relax a little. I'm kind of shocked that David said he would take her, maybe he's not a total...
I'm sending healing vibes for all of you, take care.

Arrrrgh, poor thing. I'm hoping for the best.

It was a ****ing HAWK!!! I was sitting outside, smoking, before heading back to work and I saw a big bird land in the tree, it is a ****ing HAWK!! Nickolas was right, not our dog.

David said that he would take her, that way Nick can still see her, but she would be safe.

Aw!!! I'm sorry, MG!

Sending lots of healing wishes to Chicken. Hopefully, she'll be ok soon.

Poor Chicken! I hope she recovers and provides you with many more eggs for you to ponder.

A hawk in a residential area? Wow. Then again, we had an owl here taking out cats for a while.

May Chicken be safe and healthy, and pull through this.

Poor chicken! Figures it would be a hawk. They can really be a menace to small pets.
