    Please help! Duck beak ripped up

    She is doing better, but we are having a hard time getting her to eat. She sticks her face in the food, but I think it takes a lot more effort than it used to. She's getting there though.

    Chickens died... what killed them?

    yes, it has a roof. we thought they would be safe... inside the coop inside a barn inside a fenced in yard. We don't understand why they didn't stay in the nesting boxes that are 3 feet off the ground.

    here are the poor babies. in the back right corner you can see the one that was almost pulled through the fence. then there are the three in the middle. in the left corner, you see the two, it looks like the dark one was protecting the white one. i will post more pics, close ups.

    Chickens died... what killed them?

    Help! We have goats and (used to) six chickens. This morning we went outside and it was quiet. Normally the goats are baa'ing and chickens are clucking to be let out.
