I need some advice about a chicken we thought had either run away or been killed by a predator. We live on a couple of acres and had searched the place a few times. Then yesterday my husband found her living under an old car trailer, sitting on a LOT of eggs! We tried to move her but she got...
I have a chicken that I've just nursed back to health after being badly bullied. I'd like to get her accepted back into the flock, so she can free range with the rest of them. I've tried releasing her in the pen, but at least 2 other chickens were 'having a go' at her. I'm wondering what the...
