    Hen with Chicks Existing Flock

    Its a small kennel not sure if I could fit it all in there. But I do still have some hardware cloth left over from the coop build that I could use to isolate them into their own little area in the house where Mom could come out do her business and then go back in as well as allowing the littles...

    Black Australorp with broken neck skin

    Thank you both so much for your advice. We're going to go get some of the chlorhexidine for her and we'll just apply that daily. How long do you think it'll take to heal? Oh and @MrsBrooke thank you for the warm welcome. This just scared the heck out of me because this particular bird is so...

    Black Australorp with broken neck skin

    Howdy everyone, We just started with our first flock this year since they are now legal in our city. I wish I was introducing myself under a better circumstance. I have one black australorp that I found this afternoon being cleaned by one of our dogs. She's acting fine and all except for...
