I have three; Tachi, Tana and Winter.

Sorry to hear that.

I have several geese that seem to be a good hawk deterrents. There is actually a pair of large hawks nesting in a neighbors tree a couple hundred feet from my fence line and those hawks are always flying over my property yet have never lost a bird to them. The geese look up at them and honk, I...

Chicken nipple waterer on the cap of a water bottle works well. As for broken wings, it will heal but she might not be able to fly up to high perches as well. It's not a big deal for most chickens.

I have a Great Pyrenees/Akbash mix I get at ten weeks, he is 8 months now and with the flock the whole day. A lot of training and monitoring was needed and is still ongoing but I have a family of seven foxes that have not made off with any birds this year. It's part luck and part paranoia to...

I had a fox problem last year where I lost several chickens, ducks, a couple of geese and at least ten guinea fowl to them. Usually happens around spring when they have their kits. Foxes, like most canines, are stimulated by movement and are not being malicious when they decimate the flock...

A fairly clean wound probably doesn't need a lot of cleaning after the first washout. Unlike Sylver Queen's disaster case with necrotic tissue and a secondary infection, which requires a bit more work. Peroxide is an oxidizing agent, hence all the crazy bubbles. Alcohol desiccates as it...

Looks like a full crop. You can easily confirm by not feeding overnight. Tumors don't go away overnight but crops empty. Also crops feel a bit squishy and malleable, tumors are firm and do not change shape with manipulation.
