    First predator attack - sad and not sure what to do next?

    👋 Hey all. I always like to check on my flock in their coop at night, and last night was no different. However, I noticed that one of my Golden-laced Wyandottes was missing.

    URGENT - Should I put my chicken down?

    Hi all, I'm a newbie chicken owner. I have 6 chickens that are now 7 weeks old. A few weeks ago I made a post about one of my chickens that was limping. Long story short, I ended up taking her to our local vet. They do not specialize in chickens, but we live in a rural area so they have...
