I had three baby chicks a Rhode Island Red baby rooster and a black chicken and this one, a white baby chicken. Two days ago my rooster went missing and I didn't understand why, I figured a Hawk, a Coyote, or something else had taken him. Today however I heard a lot of commotion in the morning before going to work and went outside. My dog had the black chicken in his mouth. I shouted at him to stop and tied him at his tie-out (his " ; time-out "if you will) and went to see how the chicken was doing. The chicken was lifeless .... Now I have one baby chicken, and we have now named her" lucky ". Should I buy more chickens are retry or should I just concentrate of taking care of her?
You should just try taking care of her until she gets older. 3-5 weeks is pretty young for an animal.
I would recommend getting another chicken or two around her age for company and warmth. They are still relatively cheap at that age, so it probably won't be much of a problem. Make sure you tend to her, of course, but I think getting a few more will actually help her, since she won't feel alone and scared. And, of course, keep your dog away.
