    6 week old attacked by cat!

    She’s practically fully recovered! She’s smaller than the others at this point which I’m blaming on the cat attack. But she’s doing everything the other chickens are doing so thank you all!

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    Alright so I wouldn’t call her good as new quite yet but she is definitely much much better. I’ll report again soon.

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    I have a window looking directly at my chickens as well but our dense is probably only 4ft and I’ve seen cats scale walls taller than 8ft so... How big would you say a chicken needs to get before a cat won’t try to mess with it? The cat is probably only a foot and a couple inches long (not...

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    She’s a little more active now. She sleeps while sitting down now sometimes (previously she always slept standing up) and can climb up and down the ramp to the inside of the coup. I’m just now seeing her peck around The floor where she’s standing! Her tail isn’t nearly as drooped right now as it...

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    Just a minor cut under the wing. It’s been a couple days and it’s already not noticeable (can’t tell she ever had a cut)

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    I will check again but last I looked she had a super small scratch so I figured it wouldn’t mean much. I guess I was wrong 😅 We’ve decided to let them stay locked in the coop floor a while. How long until they can free range would you say?

    6 week old attacked by cat!

    I know six weeks might be a little young to be free roaming (I live in a quiet small town) but they’re all doing fine before this point! She’s a golden sexlink, I chased the cat across the street before it dropped her (this happened yesterday) She can walk (her legs aren’t broken) but incredibly...

    Extremely weak chicken?

    I put her inside a cage inside (76 degrees inside). I supplied her with water and food but she isn't drinking it. I tried to force (nicely) her to drink by putting her beak in the water but when her beak touches the water she shakes her head and all the water goes flying. If I nudge her to try...

    Extremely weak chicken?

    I have a Rhode Island Red that was doing fine yesterday but is now extremely weak/tired looking. It's been up in the 105 degree zone the past few days and I think that might be the main factor. She layed down in a very tight spot with shade. I found her on the ground and when I picker her up...

    How to make chickens like mist?

    There is a heat wave coming tomorrow (108-110) and I have a mister set up yet they are avoiding it. Will they eventually figure it out? I don't want them to die of heat stroke because they didn't like the mist. The floor is getting pretty wet so I'm thinking they might just use the wet mud to...

    Also, I need ideas to keep chickens cool. I've already know about a mister.
