One of my chickens was injured by a pine martin that grabbed her through a wire fence with apertures of 2" X 3" pulling off a wing and part of a leg and I wanted to put it down quickly. I could not do it...

    one of my girls has eaten antibiotics our cat spat out

    Help - One of my girls has eaten an antibiotic tablet our cat spat out. The active ingredients are Spiramicina, Metronidazolo, Eccipienti q.b.a. for a 2kg cat. It happened so quickly I am not sure which chicken got it. Any one know what effect it will have or poisonous.

    Am I the only one to feel covered in bugs??

    We also have these invisible itch mites and thought we were going mad. We never had them before until the present lot of girls. We are not sure if its ok to use the eggs if you use Ivermectin or any other insecticide and not sure how to apply it.

    unusual chicken poo

    One of my new chickens' poo is soft forming 1" round flattish drops, light brown inside and darker where the air has got to it, it is hard to clean and stick to cleaning utensils. She has always done this and is just starting to lay,Is this any thing to worry about?

    Ciao Tutti. Thanks for your site it a great place for things you need to know about chickens. We live in a country area of Sicily where dogs are kept chained up all day & night 12 months a year (and it can get down to freezing for a few weeks a year) and only have an up-turned sink for shelter...
