    Hi there! I'm sorry I didn't reply sooner (technical difficulties). Soooo- this guy was raised in a fraternity house at Penn State with a few other ducklings. Believe it or not, this is how I got my last bunch of ducks about 10 years ago. anyhoo- he is comfortable with people and other ducks and...

    Can a chicken be in a coma?

    Good luck. I do really feel that chickens are tough creatures! I had one that was attacked by a hawk and by the time I found her she was covered with maggots and rotting (GROSS!). I got great advice on here and she recovered completely and is perfect. I totally thought she would be dead...

    My only friend has died.

    This is so sad. I am sorry for your loss. You sound like such a good pet owner. Maybe you could get a kitten? They live longer and might fill up the void in your life? I would say a dog would be great too (I'm a dog person myself) but they are definitely more work. I hope you are ok.

    Can a chicken be in a coma?

    The trance like state is crazy. I've seen it so many times (not this intense) and I guess I equate it to a defense mechanism so they kind of black out before they know what is going on. She is still out of it. She is laying on her side like a dog which I know is not good. she doesn't open...

    Can a chicken be in a coma?

    She is still laying down looking asleep. Alive, but not very conscious. I'm going to give her electrolytes in a dropper, but at this point, I don't want to prolong suffering if she isn't going to recover. I really hate this part...Poor thing.

    Darn Fox-broken neck?

    I would love to do that, but we have a pond bordering half the property. The fox comes that way... I definitely need to think of something. I can't block the pond because I have ducks and geese too....

    Can a chicken be in a coma?

    I know this is a really stupid question. My chicken was attacked by a fox yesterday. I got her before she was eaten, but she is in rough shape. Her external wounds are not awful, but I'm wondering if she has a broken neck or is in some kind of coma or something. She has her eyes closed most...

    Darn Fox-broken neck?

    I've had two attacks this week, so I've learned my lesson and am not letting anyone out of the coops for a while. I lost a large chinese goose (caught the fox with her and got her away, but she died soon after). Yesterday, the fox got one of my very large chickens. I ran after him/her and I...

    advice needed-broody hen,day olds and bad descision

    Ugh. I've had chickens for a couple of years and I feel like I'm never going to figure this out. I have a broody black astralorp. She has been sitting on golf balls and eggs for two weeks. (I've tried to take the eggs so they don't incubate too long). I don't mind that she is broody...

    attacked by fox- now maggots in wound! ARGH!

    Wanted to update since I really really appreciate all of the help here. NO MORE MAGGOTS!! I am so thrilled. I bathed her in sea salts and epsom salts again today and there were no maggots (that I could see). Her insides are still kind of exposed, but I think all in all she is doing pretty...

    HELP!! My chicken was attacked!!

    Wow! She looks just like my chicken. I assumed she was attacked by a fox, but she looks just like yours(only worse). I didn't notice mine right away because we were out of town. She ended up being infested with maggots. I have been giving her sea salt baths and epsom salt baths (her insides...
