    911!!!!!!!!!! my hen was attacked!!!

    Does it look anything like this?? I poured peroxide (which I later found out isn't the best thing to do) on it, used a Q-tip and put Neosporin on it and then left her in a dog crate for almost two weeks. She healed nicely! She did not lay eggs for a while though... Sorry to hear about all...

    is my chicken broody or sick??

    She sounds broody to me! I have a Silkie who is CONSTANTLY broody.....I have just come to accept that that is who she is. I did break her broody-ness once when I placed a frozen peach in the coop, came to check on her later and found her lying on it. She didn't go broody again till one...

    Bob cat in yard circling Chicken Coop/Run at 7am. Now What Do I Do?

    Bob cat in yard circling Chicken Coop/Run at 7am. Now What Do I Do?

    We are going to go to Home Depot in a bit to get hardware cloth and we'll look into an electric fence too. Know if PetCo sells Electric fences? Thanks for all the suggestions!

    Bob cat in yard circling Chicken Coop/Run at 7am. Now What Do I Do?

    7am our 8 chickens are going crazy outside in the coop/run in our backyard. Rush to get dressed and run out there. They are clacking like they just layed an egg, very loudly. I looked around for a snake, none. I thought maybe my 4 20-week old chicks layed their first egg, nope. They won't...

    Can a single quail live alone ~ happily?

    A friend found a quail outside her home, she could not find an owner. It is very friendly. She put it in a cage and is thinking about keeping it. Any suggestions for her? Can a quail live alone? in a large pet carrier? what do you feed it?
