    *Urgent* Hen Attacked by Raccoon

    So, earlier this week a raccoon attacked my chickens just after dusk and carried one off. I heard it squawking and managed to scare the raccoon off before he killed her, and only a few of her feathers were missing. Last night, he came back just after dusk again and grabbed a different chicken. I...

    Chick Under Broody Hen Missing Most of Shell (but still in membrane) - Urgent

    Hey y'all, So, one of my hens went broody and she has eggs of all different ages underneath her. She has already hatched about 10 chicks, but one of the eggs is missing most of the shell but most of the membrane is still intact, and it looks like the shell might've been broken by the hen. The...

    2 day old chicks have fleas!

    I was on vacation, and had my neighbor hatch some eggs for me. They hatched yesterday, and when I took them home today, they had fleas coming off of them! What do I do? They had a dog that is normally outside, inside, but the dog didn't make contact with the chickens. They've never been outside...

    I'm pretty sure my chicken had damage to her brain. Mine was doing the same, then all of the sudden she died one day while we were gone. I hope yours makes a full recovery!

    I got her feeling better, and she seemed to be getting better, but sadly she died after 5 weeks. I'm pretty sure there was damage to the brain.

    It turns out it was throw-up. It is now more mucus than foam, and it is stuck in her mouth. She is a lot more responsive and active than yesterday

    Yes, her eyes were already closed. OK. I wasn't sure. I can wet her mouth, but she doesn't swallow. She will mouth her tongue around but that is it.

    I really don't want to try that yet. Any idea how long she can go without food? I would probably do that as a last resort if at all. Does anyone know why she keeps her eyes closed? They don't look like they have been injured.

    How would I do tubing? I have her in the basement with a heat lamp on.

    Well I gave her the bath about 3 hours ago, and she seems fine. A little more active than before. I think I forgot to mention that she keeps her eyes closed all the time. I tried the egg and tried the soupy feed but she doesn't like it. She is having trouble breathing through her nose, I think...

    Since the wound is right near her eye, I don't want to pour on antiseptic or anything like that. I am about to give her a bath.

    Yes, she is in our basement. I cleaned the wound and tried to apply medicine. The bite isn't too bad. What do you mean by "fester"?
