    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    This afternoon? Yes. When the initial injury happened, no. We've never had predators on our land during daylight hours so I'm hesitant to think it would be. It's an 8x10 shed with 11 birds

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    Generally speaking yes, but they haven't been since we completed the new run so they can learn their new home. She was in the run and coop when this occured

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    Do chicken do like dogs and cats and disappear to go die? 😭 I saw her first thing this morning and she was earing some cat food in the garage. I went out to go check on her a couple hours later (just after that last response) and to see how her injuries were and couldn't find her. I haven't...

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    Yes thats what I'm thinking too. The flock has all been here and together for about a year and a half. We have two roosters. Herb is an amazing roo, Gregory is an oopsie rooster thats always been a jerk but he's been better as he got older. The plan has been to cull him however we've never done...

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    I don't think so. Everyone has been shut in the run in order to get used to their new coop and realize that's home now. I'll check her wings tomorrow just to be sure but when I lift her and scoop her wings up she doesn't jump or make any noise. The only blood was coming from her comb area. It's...

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    Her crop was completely empty when I found her so I don't think so. She has been eating and drinking since.

    Injured/attacked chicken HELP

    BACKSTORY OF INJURY: The other night when checking on my flock at bedtime, I noticed some drops of blood so obviously went on the hunt. I found my favorite little girl, Gracie-an almost 3 year old black australorp, with blood all over her face. Pic is from that night after wiping her face. I...

    Elector PSP- very specifc question

    My concern right now is these high winds we have. I'm concerned it's going to blow the dirty coop matter and insecticide everywhere

    Elector PSP- very specifc question

    Luckily we haven't been bitten yet. I believe they are NF mites and not red mites so if I have read correctly they don't transfer and feed off humans 🤞

    Elector PSP- very specifc question

    So we have mites. Two of my girls pretty badly. I finally got my Elector PSP in the mail late last night. I need to go out and clear the coop, spray the coop, bars, and birds. Here's my specific question: it was supposed to rain today. It's delayed after some rain last night. So today is...

    Pitting crop

    Tonight my husband couldn't find our Gracie girl. We found her in the garage instead of the coop. The last time this happened, about a year ago, she had sour crop. Tonight when I picked her up, her crop wasn't soft and mushy like it was with sour crop but it was quite large and hard. Upon...
