    Mysterious wounds

    Thanks. They definitely have a pecking order. I will check again tomorrow for things that could be dangerous, oddly both are on the left side.

    Mysterious wounds

    Hi. I don’t have roosters, just 6 egg layers. They are in a double fenced secured coop/run so it is super odd. I can try to get better pictures tomorrow. The one that we noticed Friday is also loosing feathers back there, but seems to early to molt.

    Mysterious wounds

    hi- I have 6 chickens (born in August/September). This weekend 2 out of 6 had wounds (bloody) under the one side of their wings. I am thinking the others are bullying them? We have separated them during the day, treated with saline and veteraycin spray. Picture of one attached. Thoughts? My...

    Hawk attack, eye question

    Thanks, she is eating and drinking. But definitely wobbly. We will try to reintroduce her tomorrow. Trick is that she has to use a ladder or fly into the coop if she wants to get out of the run..not sure she can do that yet and it’s pretty cold here still.

    Hawk attack, eye question

    Hi- So shes nesting in the bin in my garage with the heat lamp still (extreme wind chills today). She seems to be more active but is still only using right eye to see, we think. She is a tad wobbly when she walks. Thoughts? Guess we keep her in her special garage room for another day or so...

    Hawk attack, eye question

    So she laid an egg overnight and this morning her eye was open. We took her out to see the other chickens and she’s walking sideways, thinking the one eye isn’t working. The other chickens were friendly but then one did poke at her a tad. So she’s back in garage for the night.

    Hawk attack, eye question

    Our 5 month old Rhode Island Red has a hawk attack her today. She has some surface wounds around her head that we cleaned with saline and neosporin. Her eye was initially opening but now appears to be not opening. Any thought on how to help her eye? She’s standing and moving a bit, wobbly and...

    Integrating chicks

    I’m concerned the big chicks won’t let the babies eat at all unless I separate them. When I added the second feeder they divided up and seemed to be territorial. The babies just watched from the coop. Trying to let nature take its course and them establish an order...the older ones should...

    Integrating chicks

    There are 3 older ones. Pictures might help.. I did let the big ones out to free range a lot this weekend but I have to go to work today and we have hawks so they are back in the run.

    Integrating chicks

    hi- we moved the three five week old chicks out to the coop/run with the big chicks that are about 4 weeks older than them. The older ones won’t let the babies near the food and water. I added another food/water source and they still are territorially. The baby chicks basically hang out in the...
