    Chicken Attacked by Hawk w No Injuries… Now what?

    Heard some commotion only to find a hawk pinning my chicken. Luckily I scared it away and now they’re in the run. She only has a few feathers plucked but zero injuries. My concern is, do hawks carry diseases? Should we not eat the eggs for awhile? I know she probably won’t lay eggs for a bit...

    What predators leave only chicken legs?

    I’m trying to figure out what killed my chicken. They’re free range and we have 7 total and one just got killed. None of the others are injured. All it left was two piles of feathers and it left only the chicken leg with foot. The bone is wiped clean and no blood visible anywhere. What predator...

    Weird peeling scab on chicken leg

    Correction* She still has black spots on her comb. They’re just these black dots that also look like mini scabs. The weather is super hot where we live right now (California)

    Weird peeling scab on chicken leg

    Noticed my chicken had a scab on a part of her leg that looks like a scale. It fell off and this is what it looks like now. Is this normal? She also had some weird black spots on her comb but it healed and went away.

    No-Shell Egg laid at night time

    So recently, my 22week old flock has started laying eggs. For the past two days, this chick had been going in and out of the nesting box like she’s getting ready to lay. Tonight, I count all them in the coop and I notice she seems constipated on the roosting bar. Then bam, an egg just drops...

    Curled toe on 7 week old rooster

    That makes total sense. Thanks for the reply and reassurance. He never seems in pain or like it’s a bother to him, just thought it was a little odd.

    Curled toe on 7 week old rooster

    I’ve had this rooster since it was a week old, along with 7 other hens. He is the only one that has a curled toe like this. Any idea on why it’s like this and is it a cause of concern?

    How many chickens can I safely fit?

    I have a 4x6 coop with an 8x6 attached run, there is space under the coop as well so technically 12ft of run “ground space”. I have 10 6 week chickens right now, two of which are silkies (all pullets). Chicken math is real and I want 5 more but do you think that would be over crowding them...

    Blood/ Bleeding in Poop from Silkie

    Will do. Definitely going to need to treat the whole flock just to be on safe side. Thanks for the advice! Hoping for the best :)

    Blood/ Bleeding in Poop from Silkie

    That’s what I thought too. And that’s not even all the blood, I cleaned out the other blood a couple hours ago. Also, worried because she seems a little old to get coccidiosis? But thank you for the reply 👍🏼

    Blood/ Bleeding in Poop from Silkie

    Just picked up 5 new chickens, not sure of age but they’re probably 8-10 week old silkies. I have isolated the one with blood. This is what the blood looks like. It looks like a blood clot too. Can someone help me/give me tips on what to do? Another chicken had green poop as well… again, I just...

    Silkie; Rooster or Hen?

    Here’s another silkie I got today. Any guesses on gender? I’m not sure how old they are, I think maybe 8-10weeks old.

    Rooster or Hen?

    I just bought this silkie, not completely sure of the age. I’m thinking maybe 8 weeks old? Anyways, can you tell me if it is a rooster or hen? It does have some red in its comb
