    Chicken attacked by cat, tips on caring for her please

    The sugar water as I’m UK based and I don’t think we have gatoraid (I’ve never seen any here anyway). I’ve not been too scientific though, 1tsp in an average size glass - do you think I might need more? How much should I get down her? It’s a real struggle as we are having to syringe it in and I...

    Chicken attacked by cat, tips on caring for her please

    Thank you so much everyone. I’m still worried. She is barely eating the mash I made, she also is just standing still in her “chicken hospital” not really moving :( most concerning is that her movements are odd. Not sure how to describe it but when she moves her neck it sort of twitches a bit...

    Chicken attacked by cat, tips on caring for her please

    The same cat has returned twice since! It is only a small cat but I think likely a hungry one! The other chickens went crazy which is how I knew it was there. I scared it off but it keeps coming back :(

    Chicken attacked by cat, tips on caring for her please

    One of our beautiful girls was attacked by a neighbourhood cat (unusual I know). She suffered several puncture wounds to her neck and was bleeding.

    Chicken Breed Focus - Faverolles

    OMG I love faverolles!!! They are so adorable and sweet-natured. We have two, Henrietta and Buckbeak and they are so soft and cuddly! They are also very sensible and take themselves to bed on time unlike our cocky warrens. We have one salmon and one bircher (black with grey flecks) I’m tempted...

    Pullets or roos?

    Hi everyone 👋 so we have four flock members, 2 faverolles (salmon and bircher) and two warrens/goldlines. I’m wondering whether the goldlines are roos or pullets. I spotted what looks like the beginnings of a thin black tail feather on one yesterday and thought I should check. They hatched on...

    Is she actually a roo?

    We have two chicks we got as day-olds, they are both supposedly female. One is bigger than her sister and has different markings and darker beak. I wonder if some of her neck feathers also look pointed? Would be grateful if anyone can shed any light! Thank you x
