    Dog ripped out large portion of tail feather

    Thanks silkiechicken, she healed up pretty quickly, I had her in a large animal crate overnight. This morning I applied some more tea tree balm and put her out with her sisters. Now to keep them all cool over the next few days! Cheers!

    Dog ripped out large portion of tail feather

    Had my first casualty this morning

    Dead 6 week old

    Went to let the girls out this morning and found a dead 6 wk old Delaware. Daisy was a puzzle, she was growing at an alarming rate, much larger than the others. They are our first chicks so we didn't think anything about it. She did seem to be eating though she did tilt her head and often missed...
