    Hawk injury

    My flock was attacked by a hawk two days ago. This poor girl ended up injured. I cleaned out the wound with a 50/50 of hydrogen peroxide and water and then I put antibiotic ointment on it. She is acting fine, but I'm not sure how it's supposed to look while it's healing. Does this look infected...

    Social chickens

    So I went out and bought 300 ft of deer fence netting and spent the day building a nice big inclosure around their coop. They won't exactly be free range anymore but it's a nice big area at least so I think they will be happy.

    Social chickens

    Thanks for all the input so far. We have 8 chickens. I'm looking online at poultry netting and thinking that might be our best bet. Not sure what to do in the meantime though. I keep looking out to make sure they're staying away from her yard.

    Social chickens

    Need some advice. My free range chickens have recently found themselves into my neighbors yard. Of course it's the one unfriendly neighbor around me. She text me complaining yesterday and I told her we would put a fence up. She said I need to find a way to keep them out till then. I put up the...

    First eggs

    Hi everyone. I'm a new chicken owner of 18 week pullets. I just went into my coop to find 2 eggs in the bottom of the coop under the roosting board, not in the nesting boxes. (First time any of them laid an egg). One looks like it has been pecked and one is soft shelled. I wonder why thy chose...

    What breed?

    Thanks everyone. I was thinking possibly a mixed breed as well. :)

    What breed?

    Anyone know what breed the one on the left is? EE? I'm told it lays brown eggs but the person I got it from didn't know the breed.

    Hello

    Thank you. For some reason though, I'm not able to add pictures. I click on browse to add one and a big white "cancel" button pops up on my screen and my pictures don't pop up. Then no matter what I do, I can't get the cancel button off my screen until I close the app out on my phone and open it...

    Hello

    Thank you. We have 1 americauna, 1 NH red, 2 buff orpingtons, 1 buff rock, 1 black sexlink and I believe the last one is an EE although we're not sure about that one.

    Oyster shell for 18 week old birds - Advice appreciated!

    Do you think I did harm by giving them early? I'm making the switch right now.

    Oyster shell for 18 week old birds - Advice appreciated!

    Oh no. After reading all this, I'm wondering if I'm feeding my chickens the right thing. I got them a couple weeks ago at 15 weeks and when I went to buy their feed, the lady there suggested I buy the one with oyster shells in it which I did. I'm still new to this. This is what they've been...
