    Aftermath of Racoon Attack

    We had to put our two Pekins down, they had flystrike :( As for our hen, she doesn’t move u less it’s to turn a different way or sit down, and she doesn’t eat unless I “peck” my finger into her food bowl. I have a hard time forcing her to drink. I’ll dip her beak in the water and occasionally...

    Aftermath of Racoon Attack

    I forgot to mention I got poultry wound spray from TSC so I put some on all their wounds

    Aftermath of Racoon Attack

    I woke up this morning, and usually I have a “ritual” of waving to my flock from the bathroom window upstairs, and usually they’d honk and start getting restless. Today, I noticed little movement in the coop. There were my two Pekins, but they weren’t giving me their usual side eye. I saw brown...

    Sick rooster?

    So I have a rooster who seems a little... off, today. For one, he didn’t run out when I poured the food into their pen, but he was drinking water. He kept wanting to go back under the coop and stand there, but I thought maybe being free range for a bit would help him. He’s pecked at a few things...

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Yeah, I was uncertain myself at first too, but seeing as how the doe hadn’t pulled enough fur (I’m guessing she’s gonna wait till the last minute) I felt I had no choice ;-; and thank you, it’s pretty crazy but cool

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Yeah, I felt them in her belly, but I’ve been told she probably got stressed and halted the kindling, and will probably do it late tonight or early tomorrow :/ if she doesn’t have them by tomorrow I’ll be pretty unsure what to do because I don’t have the money to take her to a vet right now. I...

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Thanks! I made a little nest out of hay and fur from one of our fuzzylops, the baby is still fine and the mother is fine too, I’m just hoping the other kits come out soon. I don’t have the money to take her to a vet :/

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Thanks! She still hasn’t had the others, so I put her in my room with the lights off. I also fed her tums around 3:50 pm (Central time), and will be leaving for work. My hope is that she’ll either have them while I’m at work or while I’m asleep ;-;

    HELP: Rabbit in labor

    Hello! So this morning I looked into the hutch and saw a kit sitting on the wire, still alive. I had no idea my doe was pregnant, and took action to remove it and the mother and placed them in a Tupperware. I put some rabbit fur Ive been collecting in there, since the “nest” the doe made was 3...

    Droopy chick

    I put my chicks outside today, and I fell asleep once I finished. When I woke up, it was raining. I ran and grabbed my chicks and brought them inside, letting them dry under a hair dryer and giving them food. One of the chicks doesn’t seem to feel well and her wings are drooping and her eyes are...

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    Yeah, I see what you’re saying. Do you know if a black lab might be good? A friend of mine has two labs that get along great with the chickens but I’m not sure how they’d be

    Good small dogs for protecting flock

    Just wondering if there’s a smaller breed of dog that’s good for guarding chickens? I know corgis are good, but what else? I’m looking into buying a dog but also using it to guard the flock, especially since we want them to be free range in the day :)
