attacked

Hello all, my lovely hen recently got attacked by a bobcat but was saved thankfully but this morning she’s not doing too good, she’s sitting with her head down and eyes closed and it seems like she’s doing everything to just every breath, she has a couple big spots where her feathers were...

My lovly duck sadly got attacked by a hawk yesterday. I luckily could scare him off almost instantly. The duck survived but got 2 minor wounds but is now having problems with the left leg. She can fully contract and decontract the leg muscle but cant cordinate it so she walk in”circles” I...

Im ready to toss the two nasty aunts and daddy duck into the frigging stew pot. I gave away my ducklings, keeping the all white one. All was going well until yesterday when i noticed the drake chasing the bany (little over one month old). This what i found this morning: We have no vets...

One of our ducks, Quackers, was attacked last night. She couldn’t get away because she has a lame leg. Luckily my sister and her fiancé showed up and found her. She’s almost finished with nursing school so she was able to stop the bleeding. I’ve cleaned the wounds the best I can for now until...

Hi all! So my ladies all got killed by a fox attack about a month ago. The sole survivor of the attack was my Leghorn Rooster who defended as best he could with the other rooster, our beloved creamy legbar who sadly died also. So Avalanche(our only remaining rooster) was left with bites and a...

Hi, I just found this website this evening, and I was wondering if anyone could help with my chicken that was attacked by a raccoon earlier this evening. She has a large open gash on her back and it looks like a chunk of flash is missing and her wing is badly injured. It looks like her wing was...

Last night at work, me and my brother found a duckling that just stayed near us. (for your information we tried to take it where we found it and covered it with a cloth, but there were no other baby ducks in sight and the ducks we found ignored the little thing while he followed us wherever we...

Hello, new member and new to poultry keeping (2-3 yrs.). I’ve never dealt with anything like this. I have a rooster who is a bully and I believed he defeathered my Tom’s tail and entire back end. There are some gashes as well. I had a hard time evaluating the wound by myself tonight. I cleaned...

Hi Everyone I have 6 hens and one rooster and have had them for almost a year. They all behave very friendly. This past Sunday morning we discovered one of our chickens had a brutal wound to the back of the head. The picture doesn’t do full justice, but there is a large gash of a hole that...

Yesterday something attacked our flock of chickens, they're still young (8 weeks) so it might have been our cat. One was dead and three I found scattered, but one was missing. I couple of hours later I heard a fuss and went to check and my toy poodle had found the missing girl and cornered her...

My 7-8 week old Cream Legbar had her face scratched by a possum on Tuesday night (we caught it and fixed the weakness in her housing). It seemed fine, but then I noticed that it is a green color above the wound. My daughter also thinks her face looks a little more red than usual. Is there...

We were woken up about an hour ago by very panicked chicken noises from the backyard. One of our four hens was injured and besides missing lots of tail feathers has a large wound (don’t know what attacked her but thinking maybe a cat). I cleaned the injury site and used hydrogen peroxide and an...

Hi! I have been raising three mallard ducklings the last month or so. This morning awoke to find that a raccoon had managed to get into their cage area and killed two of my ducklings. I’ve had them since May 10th, so they are about 6 weeks old. I know that ducks are very social animals and do...

It’s going on 4 days now since 4 of my hens were attacked, 3 of which died. The one that survived has a large open wound on the back of her neck. I’m pretty sure I interrupted whatever animal it was that was attacking my hens because the bodies were still warm and one was still alive. I...

We are new to raising checkens...we have had four for the past year. We just got four new ones after being raised separately by a relative and are now 8 weeks old. We initially tried to put them with our full grown chickens but the chicken just attacked them. Thus, we created a divider in the...

My rooster was attacked last night and it injured his head really badly. He has been acting sorta weak, not like himself and is moving slower. He also hasn’t been crowing which he does a lot. He’s still eating which is good but I’m afraid he might be blind in one eye because he isn’t opening it...

Hello, I have four female ducks, two khaki campbells and two cherry valleys. A few months ago one of the cherry, Pebble was limping so I took her to the vet. They said it was probably something internal but they could not be sure until they had run more tests which would be very expensive and...
