3) Emergency dog attack treatments:
"
I would (if possible) give her calming herbs like lavender, bee balm, thyme, basil etc. These will help relax and soothe her. I would put unpasteurized, organic apple cider vinegar in her water to boost her immunity. I would also put garlic in her food to make sure she doesn't catch a cold. And, I would put coconut oil and/or Vaseline on her wounds." -Mountain Peeps

4) To stop older chicks from spilling so much feed in one of those feeders that has the little feeding holes around the bottom and a jar on top - put a cheap aluminum pie pan underneath to catch any feed they scratch out, elevate feeder, use a tiny feed trough (can make from scrap lumber and wire), or cut holes in a 5 gallon bucket so that only one chick can fit it's head into the feeder (good for water also...can hang it up by the handle).

5) Broody Hen Notes:
Q: We had a rooster who died 7 days ago. Is she still fertile?
A: A hen will stay fertile for up to 4 weeks after just one in counter with a male. -
Q: Since it is warmer here in California. Should be 88-90 degrees. She is in her nesting box will it get to hot? How many eggs should I let her sit on?
A: She will regulate to the temp she needs. So now worries there. She is a LF soooo 8 eggs is ideal. One or two more would be ok as long as she can cover them. As for suggestions. Make sure she is were you want her to hatch the eggs. If not move her only at night to another location. Candle eggs on day 10 and 15 and remove any clear or bad eggs. Other than that. Have food and water for her at all times. She will tend to them for about 6-9 weeks before she will let them go and run them out from under her.
Q: I don't know how to candle light ?
A: Candling is easy

just use a empty toilet paper roll and a HID or some high powered flashlight. Flash the light through the roll with the egg on top of it. Then you'll see blood vessels and possibly chick movement.
Q: We have 10 other hens, will I need to mover her?
A: If she is nesting with these other hens then yes I would move her. At night move her to a dog crate or another secure area. With all her essentials food, water, nesting matieral, and of course her egg or eggs.
