    The dogs are doing great training, but we have decided to put up some fence in the backyard for them and the chickens. How tall does the fence need to be so they won't jump it? and would the goat fence with the 4x4 squares work ok for them?

    Chicken Vent Problem

    Went out this afternoon, and it is completely gone. She is doing very good. I will keep on giving her the wet food and monitoring her for a few days, then she should be good to go back with the flock. I am very happy that she is doing so well, I was definitely expecting the worst but she pulled...

    Chicken Vent Problem

    She is doing a lot better, I just checked on her and reapplied some ointment. It is much smaller and I can tell she is feeling much better. Of course not amazing, but she is definitely on the road to recovery!

    Chicken Vent Problem

    Ok. If it makes a difference, she started laying early (about 4 months) and laid good for a few months, but stopped producing after that. She laid one egg about two weeks ago . She hasn't turned a year yet, so could this have something to do with it?

    Chicken Vent Problem

    It looks pretty bad, I don't think it is prolapsed. It is hard like hardened poop, also bleeding a little.

    Chicken Vent Problem

    This is the best picture I could get, the poop is covering the thing in her vent. She is able to release poop above it.

    Chicken Vent Problem

    My chicken had blood on its bum feathers Monday, and I inspected it and thought I saw a scab. I've had her seperated and today, when I went to check on her she wasn't doing great. So I examined her again, and found the problem. Something is caught in her vent. It looks like poop, but when I...
