    Other then that she's perfectly normal, she never picks at it or anything I only noticed it when I was holding her and felt it or else I would of probably never have known it was there

    Big fatty lump on my chickens leg!? *pictures*

    It's squishy in part of it but around the squishy part it's hard.. She has been acting normal and if it's a fatty tumor should I be concerned?

    Something got into my coop last night! what could it be?

    Something got into my coop last night! what could it be?

    Also there was a rainstorm with thunder and lighting around 3 a.m so I think it might have scared the predator away and that's why it only ate one and didn't go after the rest. Could it have been a fox.. what are signs of foxes?

    I woke up this morning to see that an animal had gotten into my coop late last night. There was a hole dug under the fence about 8 inches wide and it only took one chicken and ate the neck and head and left the body just laying in the coop. There was no smell so I don't think it could have been...
