    Can anyone give me a home?*He has a new home....*

    I suggest you turn him over to a shelter. I personally don't believe you are wrong but you have to protect yourself. This is a world that is "sue crazy". In the eyes of the law dogs are property not family members. If you keep him until you find a home, your neighbor could accuse you of...

    Can anyone tell me what is killing my chicks

    I think it is something big and/or heavy. I believe it is climbing the orange tree and jumping into the coop. When it leaves, it is either jumping or climbing the fence and has bent the top.

    Can anyone tell me what is killing my chicks

    Can anyone tell me what is killing my chicks

    I had 67 baby chicks. I kept them alive for weeks. Now I am down to 29. I know a hawk has gotten some but I have lost some to I don't know what. Some have their insides eaten and some are just squished. There are no marks on them. No feathers missing or anything like that. What is getting them?

    Chick killing rooster

    I have a rooster that went after a hen and her chicks. He killed one chick. Why would he do this? I am new to the chicken world. I inherited 2 roosters and 3 hens when their owner abandoned them. The 5 have since moved to my neighbor's place. She has the hen, 7 chicks(that includes the dead one)...
