    Hen With bloody neck

    I will try to get some tomorrow. It’s not an open gaping wound, it’s from being grabbed for breeding. If the vasoline doesn’t work he’s getting separated

    Hen With bloody neck

    1 drake six hens. One of the hens has a bloody neck and spends most of the day hiding from the group. Is there anything we can do beside separate.

    Donald!!! - Gone without a trace…

    I have three dogs that watch out for land predators but they can't really stop hawks. One of the dogs will jump up at a tree if a hawk lands in it. We put all poultry up at night and watch as carefully as we can in the day. The ducks spend so much time with the dogs that they follow the one dog...

    Cleaning Baby Pool Brooder

    We bought 2 clear totes 50 gallon from Walmart and put a door between. I use a dust bin to remove the chips everyday.
