    Hen attacked by dogs :(

    Thank you for the advice. She seems to be doing the same today. She hasn't moved from the spot I placed her in last night which worries me a little, but we'll see how she handles the rest of today. I never thought of the aspirin for some silly reason, it's pretty obvious when we're in pain...

    disslocated toes

    I have no words of wisdom but; I have an Americauna that has been that way since I took her home. One of her outside toes turns out but she's never limped on it and has no problems getting around so I've just left her as is. I'm sure it was caused by some kind of deficiency when she was a chick...

    Hen attacked by dogs :(

    I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me if I'm handling this correctly. 2 days ago my Buff Orpington hen was attacked by dogs. I didn't see or hear the attack so I don't know particluars but I am positive it was our neighbors dogs. Yesterday she ate a little bit of hard-boiled egg...

I know the turken likes to try and hide her eggs as I've found them all over the place especially when I took the...

    Hens not laying...

    I have 2 hens (1White Rock, 1Turken) that would lay fairly regularly last spring and summer. During winter I would only get eggs from my turken and that was pretty sparingly but it was winter so I wasn't really concerned. Now it is summer and I have only been getting 1 egg every 3-4 weeks out of...

    Incubating and Candling questions

    Hello all, I'm new to the forum and have a few questions about incubating and candling as this is my first time. Someone told me that my brown eggs should start to turn white eventually but they have not. Is this correct? They are at the 10th-11th day of incubation. I tried to candle them this...
