last update; it is now 3am and I checked, two of them were gone but I found a third one earlier which my cat had severely hurt and I wish I would’ve let my cat kill it because now that I’m back the two healthy ones are gone but this poor hurt one is stuck on a branch and it looks like he’s...

UPDATE I FOUND another one I put both of them on the beanie I hope the mother gets them.

Sorry if this isn’t the right thread for it but I found a bunch of baby swallows screaming for their mother while flopping around in the grass and I think they fell out of the nest. My cat ate two of them but I managed to rescue one (and yes the mother is nearby she kept trying to distract my...

They already told us the dog has been escaping because their kids forgot to close the fence and that it wasn’t on purpose because most times they keep the dog in check, as for country I am in Sweden. And i think they are aware that it’s against the law if the dog were to cause any harm but even...

Ignore the extra stuff laying around I’ve been trying to add extra net bits for safety measures and cover up any “holes” since this morning so it’s a bit messy.

Two days in a row now my neighbours dog has been running into our backyard and just stands around the chicken coop staring at them and barking as they cluck in fear (I assume it’s in fear what else would it be). I don’t know how worried I should be because my family don’t take it seriously and...

she stopped limping completely and has started eating more than when she first arrived but I looked at her leg again and the scab thing looked black? Is this normal or should I be worried? I have been giving her treatment daily since she arrived here (soap water and chlorhexidene) and the Epsom...

Thank you so much for your reply. I ended up soaking her feet in warm soapy water and then adding chlorhexidene but I will order Epsom salts online. As I wait for that I guess I’ll do the soapy water and Chlorhexidene treatment. I ended up quarantining her so she’ll be in the extra living room...

Our nextdoor neighbours have a big white fluffy dog, I was outside with my hens today next to them while they free range and their dog ran after my cat and noticed my hens. The moment the dog saw them it went after them, the ones from my flock flew or ran away and the dog was barking all over...

So, last night I got some news about a chicken that’s not part of my flock being hurt, apparently she had stepped on something sharp and under her leg she has a wound. Her wound has been washed since and coated with Vaseline before she was handed over to me so there’s no bleeding right now but...

So one of my hens is having her first molt, today i let them out of their winter coop into the bigger outdoors one and I saw one of the other hens attacking her and pulling out several of the feathers on her head. Should I be worried? I tried to separate her from the flock but she went back to...

I’ve seen two of my hens do this but I don’t understand why? They cluck while gathering eggs and putting the eggs under themselves and fluff up like broody hens do but then a few minutes later they’ll get up and act like nothing happened or instead they’ll lay an egg and do what I assume is the...

I couldn’t catch any poop photos today, the poop had fallen in the sawdust that’s on the floor along with the poop from the others. I checked every chickens toe and legs and there was nothing on them, no wounds on their faces either so idk if that was blood or just a spot. As for how she’s...

Thank you for the advice I’ll be buying wet cat food tomorrow and give it a shot! I’d love to see a picture of the chicken of yours that looks like mine I’ve been wondering if there’s any that look like her

I’m in Scandinavia, Sweden Västra Götaland region to be specific. It gets dark pretty early during winters so they sleep around 16:00. About the standing up picture, will any picture do? Any specific angles?
