    My hen looks as if its dying

    One of my chicken was attacked by a opossum and has not laid any eggs for 3 months. Now all she will eat is wet cat food. She eats out of the cat dish and will not eat her 3 way scratch any more. Maybe something scared your chicken like a critter. Hope she gets better soon!

    Will my ducks come back?

    Hi- I have a chicken that has gotten out of the coup a few times and it took weeks to get it back. I would not let them in the lake if I was you. Maybe they will come back but there is a good chance that they will accept the new flock.

    Chicken food

    She is an only child and a handful. I'll try to oyster shells, good advice. She only lays every couple of days maybe she will feel better if she eats some.

    Chicken food

    Hi. She ate the entire thing meat and all. Wish the previous person could have found a way to keep her but more nutrition sounds good. Thanks.

    Chicken food

    She does do want the chicken food but maybe she will eat it if she gets hungry enough. She is looking a little scrawny. Thanks.

    Chicken food

    Hi. Thanks for the advice. My daughter rescued a chicken from a bike shop owner who couldn't take care of it at his shop anymore. During the day the chicken would free range about town and return to the bike shop at night. He had a trap he used to catch it each night and would feed it scraps...

    Chicken food

    My chicken does not like to eat chicken food. She likes corn, onions and tomatoes. How do I know... I set down a whopper and she started to gobble it up. I called the person I got the chicken from and he said that he fed the chicken table scraps. Should I do the same or leave out chicken food...
