    Help! 2 month old chicks killed one and now beating up on another.

    I'm at work at the moment so I'll post a pic in the am. They have pretty much taken over my indoor porch area so I'm not sure space is an issue but they are going outside on Sat and they'll have plenty of room. Anything I can put on the injured ones wounds?

    Help! 2 month old chicks killed one and now beating up on another.

    I have around 10 chicks that I got 2 months ago. 2 ended up being fairly large Leghorns, much bigger than the others. Well, the little ones pecked one to death and now they are working on the other one. I have the injured one in my dogs crate and the others really did a number on its backside...

    I've had it. I need fox advice.

    Quote: My friend who is bringing the trap is an exerminator and I'll see what he says. The only reason I bought it was to mask the human sent but I see what you mean. We plan on putting the trap back in the woods a bit.

    Little bugger came back this morning like we though and hubby shot at him with a BB gun to scare him which it did but I'm sure he'll be back. Hubby works in law enforcement and didn't want to take any chances as far as calling the police. We live in a residential area and you can't shoot within...

    I've had it. I need fox advice.

    I came home from work yesterday to what amounted to a chicken war zone. A fox jumped the chain link fence and killed 5 hens and Scooby my Roo. We were having a problem with a hawk who has been taking out my silkies but this was too much. I understand foxes having to eat but he just pulled their...

    how many of you let your chickens free range...and have a dog??

    I've learned the hard way not to trust my German Shepherd. She got to my male Mascovy duck, a baby goose and 1 chicken. With the goose and the chicken I think she was just playing with them and wore them down. Not a mark on them when I found them except a tiny spot on their backs. The duck on...

    Toys?

    I have a bunch of baby chicks that are almost a week old (got them in the mail on Monday) and was wondering if anybody gives their babies things to play with. I figured they may be bored sitting there in their little house with nothing to do. lol

    Naked Neck/Turken Thread

    Quote: She and/or he will be absolutely fine. Mine are very hardy and don't seem to notice the cold weather any more than the other girls. They can almost retract their neck and cover most of the exposed skin up. Well, thank god for that. I can't knit. lol
