    Dog destroyed our coop.

    Sorry for the delay. I've just been so upset. No. None came home. We found feathers in a neighbor's shed. Found them leading out to a cornfield, then nothing. No signs of return after the first night. So now I have to figure out what to do. I have two roosters and two undamaged coops. But...

    Dog destroyed our coop.

    I just went out. I didn't see them, but I did hear some sleepy clucking from under the bushes. That is hopeful. I didn't want to spook em either. I took a picture of the coop as well. All of the bedding had been torn out as well. It's a mess.

    Dog destroyed our coop.

    Thsnk you for the tips. We spent the entire day looking for them. In the fields. In the woods. We have identified piles of feathers to the cream rooster, a partrige rock hen and the blue laced Wyandotte hen. No other feathers or signs of struggle. I put treats out. Corraled the roosters so...

    Hello! New to the community

    Thank you! Yes, we're trying to rehome some of the roosters, and have set up separation in the meantime. We just didn't want to leave them behind. My mom's neighbor abandoned them when he moved out. They were in pretty rough shape when we took them home. Thank you for the warning though...

    Help figuring out what breeds we have?

    Hello. We recently took in a flock of abandoned chickens. We had all EEs at one point, but something got into the coop so all we had left was a rooster. We still have him, but dont know what color he is, or the breeds and colors of the others. I'm really trying to learn the genetics involved...

    Hi y'all. I just wanted to jump in feet first. I'll use the template, but also elaborate. (1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens......................................I am new to chickens, but not new at all to birds.
