    Dog attack, injuries, one of the birds has green marks on her skin!

    She's been doing a lot better today....though I can't get her to eat much more than a tablespoon of scratch, some cheese and yogurt....she hasn't touched the "regular" food yet....I don't think she's been drinking so I got some electrolytes and did the dropper on the top of her beak....she did...

    She doesn't seem to notice it, but didn't like it when we touched it....she has bruising in other areas as well....thanks for all the advice guys, I find everyone to be really helpful on this site!

    Dog attack, injuries, one of the birds has green marks on her skin!

    It's on the top of her left thigh....at first we thought it might have been something on her so we tried to wipe it off but realized it was just under her skin.....in the picture all you see is her skin in the bare spot....any idea what it might be?

    Dog attack, injuries, one of the birds has green marks on her skin!

    My 3 backyard ladies were attacked while I was out the other day....we are pretty sure it was a dog and the dog was somehow interrupted since they are all still alive.....one has no marks on her....another has a couple of bite marks that are healing up nicely....but my third lady, Mavis has...

    My birds are 7 weeks old, if I move them outside do they need a heat lamp at night?

    They've been weaned and are outside now! The hubster is installing a light for winter use, with a thermostat.....glad he's an electrician! The girls are loving being outside full time.

    What am I?

    Well she's a pretty bird nonetheless, and has a great personality, always watching everyone and much more aware of her surroundings than the other girls. =)

    What am I?

    Mavis was sold to us as an Amerucauna....but since about her 3rd week I've been doubting she was one....so please help me out and tell me what you think she might be...Amerucuana? Mutt? Or? Last one is her at about a week old....She has green legs, if that helps.

    That is a good looking coop! So I've turned the light off for tonight and plan on leaving it off for a couple of days, then moving them out. Thanks for all the suggestions and input! It has really helped ease my mind.

    Hey all, I'm in Olympia, WA (think Seattle weather), and am planning on moving my birds outside this weekend. The temps during the day have been in the 60's to 70's, but at night it's been quite a bit cooler--forecasted to be 34F tonight. It'll warm up over the weekend and should stay a bit...

    What to get? Nipple waterer vs. traditional waterer

    Hi all, I'm fairly new to the chicken community....I have 3, 5 week old chicks. I'm looking to get a hanging watering system for them, since they scratch to much bedding into their little chick waterer. I live in the Pacific Northwest and winters can get cold sometimes....my question is...
