    Feather ID

    I don't know what to do. The owl is big, slightly larger than my adult buff orpingtons. I live in a wooded area and have a feeling his home is close. Do I stop free ranging them?

    Feather ID

    It could be a chicken feather from a few houses down. Is there a raptor that brings prey back to the same spot to eat? I've also noticed a huge owl the past week watching the chickens near dusk, it's not even that dark out and the owl has been watching them.

    Feather ID

    Something was able to fly off with a buff orpington a small distance. The chicken just started laying. I found feathers of a different bird near the kill site. Some of the black parts look like they have a green sheen to them. I live in North East Ohio. Any ideas? Thanks

    Injured Chicken - Raccoon Attack

    Do you think the chicken needs to be put down? That chunk of meat is making her trip when she walks. I'm alone so first aid is going to be hard to administer for me.

    Injured Chicken - Raccoon Attack

    Shes making it difficult to get a good photo. The best way I can describe it is a piece of meat/skin that go ripped off that's hanging down.

    Injured Chicken - Raccoon Attack

    Hi, so last night I forgot to close up the coop and a raccoon killed two of my chickens and injured one. I don't know if the injury will heal or what to do with the chicken. This is the first time I forgot to lock them in. Thanks for any advice...
