    Sudden Change of Behavior and No Eggs

    Thank you for the reply. She stopped laying and her behavior changed well before I took away the barrel. The behavior started 6ish weeks ago which is also when the laying stopped. I only took the barrel away yesterday.

    Sudden Change of Behavior and No Eggs

    Hi faithful team, I have a Welsummer who is a little over 1 year old. She is part of our full flock of 22 (3 roos, 19 hens) and has historically gotten along well with everyone, roosted in the coop at night, laid consistently. However, a couple months ago, she suddenly started sitting on top of...

    URGENT! Hawk Attack Severe Injuries

    Thank you so much! Any advice on how best to clean it or what to clean it with? I've been reading neosporin works. I also have hydrogen peroxide. It's just so so so deep and delicate pieces of her insides seem to be exposed, I don't want to do any further damage.

    URGENT! Hawk Attack Severe Injuries

    Help! One of my babies was attacked by a large hawk today and is severely injured (warning: graphic photos attached). I separated her from the flock and brought her in the house to recover. She is standing and pretty alert, and no blood is flowing out of her wounds, but they look deep and pretty...
