How do you upload pictures? I have 10 that my Cochin hatched that are mixed breed and I bought 2 maran chicks and a rir maran mix.

I think you handled the situation the best you could. I love my chickens and if a dog came on to my property and killed any of them I'd shoot them too and I wouldn't care whose dog or whatever kind of pet it may be. My chickens don't leave the my yard and thankfully no other dogs have came...

You can't force them to go broody and don't confine your hen to a small cage so that she has no choice but to sit on them. A girl I know done that and her hen nearly died. I don't know much about incubators either but luckily my Cochin went broody and became a mama today, and I have a silkie...

I don't think so. I pretty much always look like this unless I'm sick. This is my daughter and I, she loves helping with the chickens and loves cleaning the coop.

I'm sorry. I used the wrong code. I fixed it I think.

I think I know what they are but I want other people opinions. They are just over 4 months old now. Sorry the pictures are so bad. I am sure this is a boy. He has already made a sad attempt at crowing. What color is he considered though...

I'm legal. I live just outside the city limits and I have 28 chickens including 5 roosters and 4 of them need to go. My only concern was my 2 close neighbors, one that sleeps during the day because he works at night. We asked if the roosters bother him and I'm really happy that they don't. He...

Thanks for posting this. I had no idea that this could happen either.

I'm not an RN but I'll be working in the health care field. I took my state exam for CNA last month and passed and I have one more day of my medication aide class and then I take the state exam for that. I'd love to work for hospice afterwards.

I got $2 a dozen on mine.

I wouldn't cook it up and eat it myself or feed it to the other chickens. Bury it or burn it.

Thanks.I have no idea what exactly happened. All the other chickens were in the coop hiding. I don't know if she got so scared and was just running anywhere she thought she'd be safe or if the hawk grabbed her and took her to the other side of the creek where we found her. My boyfriend was out...

Thanks.

She passed away a little while ago while I was holding her.

Morning update. She is about the same but she will stand up and move around some. Still not eating and drinking. I'm going to start doing that myself. Would adding an antibiotic to the water be a good idea?
