I had a bantam rooster, who was a little on the fiesty side start acting funny about a week ago. He no longer attacked anyone who went out to feed/water the flock. just calmly walked around and ate/drank when food and water was placed into the run. this morning my brother found him dead. Anyone...
My dog got into my chicks enclosure while I was at an appointment and killed 4 of my month old chicks before my brother found her and got her out of my room. But now some issues follow up with one chick who made it out alive, but with a leg injury..
She doesn't have any bite marks or open...
Polish chickens are new to me. Got them in my Meyer assortment. I'll be learning as they grow :P They are a week old tomorrow and they have a row of white feathers on their wings, and black ones over top of the white.

Aww.. I'm sorry that happened to you :( I know that I would be crushed if something like that happened to one of my girls.

I'm hoping like crazy that my local TS or feed mill will have EE's! I don't think I need another 15 chicks to meet the shipping requirements from a hatchery lol
I'm glad that both of your answers are helping me lean toward buying them! :) I have a nice size shed that I am still figuring out how to set up before I buy the materials to start building the inside so I still have time to make the duck accommodations.
So the idea has just popped into my head.. I think I may want to get 2 or 3 ducks to add to my flock of chickens as a birthday present to my best friend. Lots of questions go along with that also. Before I get too excited with this idea, I would love all you proud duck owners to help me out a...
I figured the fence would be the best idea. In the summer I will most likely expand my run. I COULD refrain from buying more chickens.. buut, I don't see that happening.. lol
