    Bobcat attack

    Had a visit from the bobcat again this morning, my dad let the chickens out on his way behind our fence to a deer feeder (we live right against the woods) to check the corn he had dumped out and in his way back the bobcat jumped over the fence hen in mouth. My dad blocked the bobcat from running...

    Possible nasal or respiratory infection

    Possibly, we got some new hens recently and one of them does fight with her I try to referee a fight every now and then to make sure they don’t hurt eachother or play dirty when I don’t have them separate, but my parents just let them out freely when I’m not home so there’s that.

    Possible nasal or respiratory infection

    My blue laced red whyandotte started squinting her right eye for the past day and tonight when I put her up I noticed there was a lot of clear liquid with a few bubbles but not white/foamy nor did the eye itself look red or damaged and she was making different chatting sounds than usual when I...

    Raccoon attack

    The other night a massive raccoon managed to squeeze through a gap in the roof netting of our run where a tree was going through, then proceeded to attack one of my silver laced wyandottes but we heard it from the house in time to intervene but not before she sustained some injuries. Any advice...

    Chicken lethargic over night

    Yeah, I started with 6 silver laced wyandottes then got 3 blue laced reds and this dark Brahma a while later. Lost two to a hawk and now two to what we think was coccidiosis

    Chicken lethargic over night

    We think it was coccidiosis (Houston Texas 100% humidity all summer), she didn’t make it 😢

    Chicken lethargic over night

    I moved out for college and got a text from my dad saying one of our chickens is very sick, according to him she was fine last night but he found her on the ground this morning, she is very weak and lethargic, any ideas or suggestions? (I know this isn’t much information)

    Unknown Cause of death

    She has always been at the bottom of the pecking order and look absolutely normal during the day, running around squatting for me, jumping onto my arm when I hold it horizontally ...

    Unknown Cause of death

    I stay outside with them when I let them in the yard and when I went inside I put them up because I have already lost 2 to a hawk. And I enclosed their entire pen with netting so I don’t think it was a hawk.

    Unknown Cause of death

    Yup that’s the problem with chickens, they are definitely one of the best pets to have but they have a tendency to just keel over when you least expect it. You just always need to give them the best possible life, keep them happy, spend time with them, let them roam the yard ..., and they thank...

    Unknown Cause of death

    I’m not sure if this is true or not but I would expect that an egg bound chicken would not squat for me and she did so I don’t think that was the cause either, and the fact they she was running around as her normal energetic self not 5 hours before I found her.
