    Why so many post on hawk arrack?

    Quote: Welcome to BYC, I live in Jonesville now, but am from W-S and work there. We had a Cooper's Hawk get into out coop, but it was chasing a small bird and became confused. We live on 20 acres and luckily our Hawks are catching rodents on some land we had sawmilled. You are right about...

    I'm so tired of dog problems!!!

    Everyone might not agree with me, but I look at it that I have to protect my chickens and do whatever it takes or move to an island. I am a dog lover so I don't blame the dogs, but the owners. We all know people just don't care. I do not free range unless we are out in the yard with the girls...

    winter laying behavior?

    completely normal, don't worry. I have 16 hens and did not get one single egg yesterday. You will also notice that eggs will come in all shapes and sizes and sometimes really weird looking.

    I probably messed up but I think its fixable

    Make sure it isn't the shaft of the new feathers. If they move then treat.

    Quote: It is illegal to hurt or kill a hawk. Just sayin'. Yes, but don't think I didn't want to get rid of him

    We have a lot of little birds flying around our chickens because we have leland cypress trees around the coop. Hopefully, he was aiming for one of those and just became confused. Believe me, he was not talking very nicely to me when I was taking pictures. After we let him go all our crows...

    Cooper's Hawk. This hawk had to go through 2 doors and a pop door. All chickens were outside under a bush and it was inside the coop going crazy ! His talons were about 2 inches long. After a "Jesus" talk we let him go and told him never to return !

I quickly redressed the wound with vet wrap and started her on Pen G by injection. All her scales fell off the bad leg, but grew back nice and pink. She recovered after...
