In regards to the large bird, it was a fox, as I chased it off. He's actually out there right now harassing the other chickens in the run. I've chased him off a few times now. Thanks for the response. We are going to be cleaning it regularly, is neosporin okay instead of black sab? Also we...

Had the chickens out this morning and one got attacked. We've housed her inside and want to know how to treat her. She isn't bleeding profusely but has a deep wound on her back. We have a paper towel with hydrogen peroxide to stop infections from developing. Any recommendations on what to do?

My friend takes in injured birds for recovery and she recently came across this chicken. She's taken her to the vet to get her x-rayed, and the vet said it could possibly be a spine injury. If anyone has seen anything similar to this and or has any comments on any ideas to treat this chicken...

Yes I do realize the second one is white. But Thats the first white one we've seen so far. Shes gotten so much worse since the day started. Her head + tail are drooping and her wings are drooping aswell.

I've read many threads so far and most are saying that there chickens have a large crop and are getting yellow poop. My chicken, has a small tiny crop that's feels empty. I tried feeding her some scratch and she didn't eat it. The poop I saw this morning was yellowish and whiteish and very...

Hello all, I recently got into chickens two years ago, and I've gotten my first Broody! :) I would like to give her some chicks to raise herself. I'm unable to post in the buy/sell/trade part of the section, and not sure how to get past that. I have 4 chickens and I heard that they will slow...
