been a little over a week now cruella is doing ok i tried to make her a resin beak but i can't figure out how to attach it to her? does anyone have any ideas? I'm still spoon feeding her 3x a day with the dropper and worse she has started to molt???? is this from stress??? its october now and...
update:
Cruella is doing a bit better she can not feed herself so the glass tiny dropper has become her best friend. I have been feeding her whey protein shake, using thawed frozen individual popsicles of the pediacare for electrolights.
Have mixed in antibiotics into her water and taken all...
No the raccoon ate the beak as I looked all over the coup for it... and to make sure I didn't miss any of the heads when i picked up the dead... I went and got the antibiotics and pedia lite they are doing a bit better I fed cruella with a little dropper some soup broth and pediacare/ They were...

Had chickens for 3 years and a raccoon finally got into the coup. It took me an hour to find out how it got in but I will repair it later. I only have 3 chickens left and of those 2 are severely wounded. I do not have $ to take them to the vet as...

I don't mind shipping him....I just don't know how much it would cost, nor do I have any idea how to do it, and i worry about his stress level in doing so. I'm willing to drive him and meet someone within the surrounding city/state
Brooster,
Brooster is a 5 month old Dunlap farm "guaranteed" to be hen till one day to my dismay he crowed and began to fertilize the eggs of my flock. I live in Boise city limits and can't keep a rooster. This was my favorite chicken, he is NOT going to just any home. He comes when called and...
I'm not going to lie this is prob the most enjoyable forum I've ever been on, I don't think I've laughed out loud so much. Thank you everyone for this wonderful place :)
I don't understand it either, ugh my neighbors across the street have some hound mix.... when I first heard it I thought some dog had been hit by a car, dog barks day and night, early am too. But no rooster, I think city law should override homeowners associations cause there are still a lot of...
yes I'm debating to paint her toenails this week.... she is a chicken rescue, some guy had 12 chickens in a 6x6 cage with no coup and was all "Why wont they lay?! If they don't lay I'm going to just throw em in the garbage" so when my friend called me sayin some guy down the street rescued 12...
