I don't see the photo of the injured chicken, unless you mean the first photo where there are white feathers all over the ground?

Yep just the white feathers. All of the chickens seem fine. I might setup another camera or two if it happens more often to better figure out what might be after them and how to account for it.
Our livestock guardian dog recently pulled a lot of feathers out of one of our turkeys, the dog was trying to herd it into its coop but the door was shut. On the one hand I was happy that the dog didn't kill the turkey, it built a lot of trust that our dog doesn't have the 'kill instinct' as she could have easily killed the turkey.
Can you see where the missing feathers on the chicken are?
I haven't been able to tell but it could have been one of the dogs. They are well trained but they of course are a more primitive breed of dog and have that kill instinct.
