https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/823666/chicken-moral-question/50 Thanks so much for all your input, yes the tread did get off a little but that's just how it goes when you talk about animals. So an update: I was went down to the house three times on the last trip, I told some lady...

For the discussion about the dogs, they have very little to do with all of this. Were we live having a free range bord is not an option. A pen her is to protect them from cars, and anything else that can hurt them. Not to mention since legally our city doesn't allow chickens, the city could...

No I didn't go on to her property, they were hiding under my bushes. One had a hurt leg that I treated. I apprentice all you that responded. I don't like the animal control solution. Not here anyways. So what I have decided to do is go down there this weekend and tell her I been caring for...

Can't call animal contorl. Legally we're not suppose to have them but the doesn't care as long as your neighbors don't care. Mine don't. I think your right sanmar. I'll give them back. In sure they will be killed later but it's not my doing. What kicks me in the pants is she didn't come...

@aggiemae thanks for the info. I don't know why they died. I went to the coop one morning and she was dead. No signs of trauma or anything like that. All my hens came from a feed store, but I'm sure they got them from a hatchery. I have been a little frustrated with them, because when I had...

Okay I'll try that. They have a auto watering bowel so they get plenty of water. It has been 105 here. Ill get some (like SAV-A-CHICK). I also put a fan in the coop to move some air around. thanks

I'm new at this, but I have 10 chickens about eight months old. At most I ever gotten was 7 eggs. Yesterday I went out to the coop and there were no eggs. It has decreased for the past month. I'm in Texas where it's hot and I heard that maybe the problem. I'm just not sure. I give them all...
