This is GoldieClucks, she's the smallest & skinniest of the tiny flock. I nursed her back to health after she survived a hawk attack and she's just the sweetest hen. She hears the yard gate & comes running like a mini dinosaur arcoss the yard. She sings egg song to celebrate when an egg is laid...

I was thinking of something like that. We didnt have a separate area, its just a yard. When i tried raised garden beds i bought "emergency fencing' just in case, that's what i used to cover the dog kennel as a roof when needed

Thank you! I had thought the crows ganged up & attacked, byt the woman who suggested it was a hawk said crows scream as warning & try to scare hawks away. Ive no experience with animals aside from dogs & cats...I also saw a post here from a few days ago, his hen was injured under the wing as...

How is your hen? Im sorry this happened to her😪 As i searched posts to possibly find what attacked my hen yesterday your hen has wound in the same spots as mine, very similar. Except yours is worse I hope she healed up ok. AMAZINGLY RESILIENT THESE BIRDS ARE!

I want to start off by THANKING YOU ALL for sharing knowledge and educating me (and many others! I was scared & lost, the BYC post linked below saved my Goldie girl. 🙏 Can someone help me figure out what tried to kill Goldie girl & Checker baby? Is there more to do aside from cleaning wounds...

Quick question... any suggestions on what to do with all these feathers? Some are really pretty, but im not that crafty. I dont think theyre good for pillows 🤷🏽‍♀️ certainly someone has an ingenious use idea

I only have 3 chickens ao any decrease in eggs is extremely noticable here lol. But them being crossbreeds, in their 1st year plus they have a small light in their coop that stays on until 730pm, all of which may have helped them to lay consistently. I dont know, as Ive not much personal...

Thanks for that. I did an advanced search for this topic & didnt pull that thread. I wonder if it being locked pulls it from search results? Well thank you again for the link, I am checking it out

Im so glad your girls are getting back to normal. My dominique i think is just starting molting, Im seeing many black & white feathers in the coop & not attached to her fluffy butt so Im assuming thats her issue. Im very new to having chickens, just got my 3 lovely ladies in May, so theyre...

I will send you a PM its not a "list" . They had named 1 brand specifically, 2 bags from that brand happened to be outsourced to a different processor than normal. I don't have any "inside info" and only what I've been able to gather from multiple sites. However for xmas my father-in-law gifted...

Sorry 😞 i didn't intend to break rules referencing other sites, was trying to bring context to the conversation. This is not political. However every thing is an "unfounded" theory until it's proven true. A considerable amount of very important and even life-saving information was labeled...

I love that you keep impeccable records! Awesome. Please take a look at the link ive attached to ny 1st reply and give your feedback. Your feed choices i Dont believe were named as the problematic ones

I hear what your saying... but please see the video and thread above. It cannot be only coincidence that chicken keepers with decades of experience are reporting anomalies theyve not seen before. It's been discussed on multiple socials, people not at all related. Which is why Im trying to get a...

Ive used Dumor and had no issues that could notice either. We did switch to Nature's best organic layer crumble & suddenly my 9month old black star we thought may be barren happened to give us her 1st egg a couple days later. Could be a coincidence and she's a late bloomer

I was going to run a poll but was unsure of how to ask the question that has nuanced and varied answers. I caught a thread on twitter and there were many surprising answers. Has anyone had their chickens stop laying and knows its not winter, molt & less sun? My dominique is in her 1st year &...
