    Chickens attacked, will no longer go in coop at night

    I will have to be more diligent to get outside before dusk every night to prevent this. Otherwise they are in the fenced-in back yard roaming.

    What is sticking out of my baby chick!!

    It looks like dried poop stuck in her fluff... Gently soften it with a warm cloth and guide it off... Don't pull it. Once cleaned off, take a hair dryer and blow dry on low until she's fluffy again!
