Thank you and best of luck with your blind, little friend. We do tend to attached to these fascinating pets. Chickens are so resilient, I think we can all learn a lot from our fine feathered friends! And the fact that she's reached the ripe old age of 9, speaks volumes about your care - they...

My brave little chicken Hi all, I just thought I would share what I learned about doctoring a hen after a dog attack. I hope what I learned might benefit some of you. First let me say that it was not the dogs fault, our neighbor’s dog does not leave it yard – ever. My chickens invaded his...

Thanks, I'll let you know. I may need some instruction if we try tube feeding.

Thanks - I hope our brave little chicken does as well. We have reintroduced her to the flock, but only for limited amounts of time (when we can monitor for overly aggressive behavior toward her.) Her wounds are healed nicely and some large scabs have already dropped off and she is actually...

I don't think she has an infection, but I do have a scale and will weigh her today and then again in a few days. I'm not seeing any signs of infection and nothing seems particularly tender or swollen or enlarged in any way. She usually has at least a small amount in her crop when she goes to...

No to all of the above. From the front she looks beautiful her feathers are even glossy. As strange as it sounds I think she's bummed because she lost her number 2 spot in the pecking order. But if there could be a biological reason for her behavior I don't want to overlook that either. I must...

Normal. Green/white - not overly runny. No funny smells, so I didn't think it is sour crop. And nothing that looks wormy.

Two weeks ago one of my hens got caught by the neighbor's dog. (In the dogs defense she went into HIS electronically fenced yard!) Anyway we have nursed her back to health with betadine washes and antibiotics in her water and all of her torn skins seems to be on the mend. She is even starting to...

I have definitely decided to get rid of all my Roosters - I just wish someone wanted them!! They are really beautiful and "Rocky" ( a 1/2 RIR 1/2 Barred Rock) has enough personality for a flock! But I can see all of them getting more temperamental and possessive of the hens so they have to go...

Thanks! I had to look up what "Pinless Peepers" where - but now that I know, they might be just the ticket if any of my hens decide to be "Miss Pickies".

Thanks, we definitely have too many roosters, and once they are gone we will be well over the 4 sq. ft. per chicken in terms of space. So I guess I'll get rid of Roos first and then see how things shake out.

Hi, I'm new to chicken raising, and my husband built a fabulous pen and run. But as my chickens get older they don't seem to get along as well. They were hatched together on Easter Sunday and are growing fast (RIRs) but now they are getting nippy and I have 4 roosters to get rid of! I do free...

You say that yours free range, but do they still share a coop a night. I need to get rid of a few of roosters, but would love to add a couple more pullets, but now I'm apprehensive. I hate to see chicks being picked on. Is it an age thing?
