    What happened here?! (Graphic)

    Thanks. I didn’t inspect the area too closely, but one of those two scenarios seems likely. The run is covered and pretty much predator proof I think.

    Yes, it’s her intestine. Nothing sharp in the coop or run. We do have a rooster but I’ve never seen him be aggressive

    This chicken seemed fine this morning when I left for work. Just got home to this? I’m fairly new to chickens and I’m at a loss.

    Went to check on them this evening…four hens in the coop, zero in the dog run! 🎊🎉

    Is this safe?

    So, they’ve been together for three days and nights. Old girls chase new girls around a bit, but no damage or blood. New girls quite adept at running away old girls seem content with that. Here’s my question: I left the large dog crate in the run with the door open. The new girls have been...

    How can I tell when they’re ready to be together? They all seem very calm and the old girls seem interested in the new girls but not bothered.

    Our rooster disappeared about a month ago. All was fine in the morning and I saw him with the flock in the early afternoon, and dinner time he was gone. Not even a feather to be seen. About two weeks later one of the hens didn’t go in to the cook at sundown and got locked out. I somehow failed...

    One of the hens already checked out the newcomers. Rookie mistake. So I will move the crate into the run tomorrow. They are safe tonight I think, as we locked them into the small kennels for the night. What can I use for sleeping accommodations in the crate?

    So, assuming I move the crate away from the run (how far?), are they ok in that small space for a month? Can they sleep in the small kennels for that time? During the four weeks what am I watching for?

    That’s a good idea. But if I do that you’re saying I’ve lost my shot at biosecurity. Is that a big deal do you think? I was thinking I would leave them in the small kennels for the night, but if I move the crate into the run, should I let them out?

    Won’t fit through the door

    We just brought home two new NH Reds to eventually integrate with the two we have left from our original flock of five. Are they safe like this for tonight? Also, how long do we need to keep them separated and what are we watching for?

    Injury?

    I’m not sure what this is. All four girls are in major molt, but this looks like blood. She is behaving totally normally and doesn’t like being handled, so I don’t want to bother her. Do y’all think I should be concerned?

    Hello everyone! Looking for a lead on a rooster to replace our beloved Rook, who disappeared a few days ago. Haven’t even told the younger kids yet, but they will find out tomorrow as they clean out the coop on Saturdays. Specifically looking for a New Hampshire Red somewhere in or near San Antonio.
