    May hatch pullets with prolapse. Cull or try to put it back?

    So, my May hatched EE and Ameraucanas are just starting to lay. I just went in to the coop and had an unhappy surprise of one of my pullets with a prolapse. I *think* there's an egg inside it all. I've never dealt with this before. Do I cull immediately as they're just beginning to lay and...

    Are hawks bad this year or is that just me?

    I haven't had hawk issues this year, but we did find a Great Horned Owl caught in our poultry netting one morning.😢. We took him to a wildlife rescue. They fixed him up and we re-released him. He seems to have learned his lesson.
