    Chicken Attacked by dog

    One of my chickens was attacked by my dog. Luckily we stopped it right away. She was injured on her back (a small area) I brought her inside, cleaned her up and put her in a pen in the garage. I've been using vetricyn (spell?) spray and Neosporin. It has been 4 days and she hasn't really moved...

    Help! Hen with Excessive Honking, and Open Mouth.

    One of my hens has frequent honking fits and holds her mouth open a lot. She has been doing this for over a month, maybe longer. At first I thought it was respiratory (she is a young bird) but now I am not so sure. She had a little blood on her beak today and my 9 year old daughter said she saw...

    New momma and her baby chicks

    She is definitely one of the dominant females of the group. One of the other hens came over (Ginger) and decided to take her on. They went at oit for a few seconds and I grabbed Ginger and let Grace peck her once and then Ginger took off. I am worried she will get into fights without me. =(

    New momma and her baby chicks

    Okay our momma hen (Gracie) just hatched 4 baby chicks, it's been 7 days). I had them in a dog crate in the coop so she could care for them and not worry about leaving her last 2 eggs. Today I decided it was time to let them out. Can I go ahead and just let them be? OR do I have to continue to...

    Chick dry but not fluffy

    I was planning on doing what you suggested this morning, but when I checked on them they were all fluffy! So apparently they just weren't ready to leave the incubator. They are now in the brooder and everyone is happy. =) Thanks again.

    Chick dry but not fluffy

    I am scared to get it wet. =( Should I dry with a hair dryer so it dries quickly? Thanks for your help. To say that I am nervous is an understatement.

    Hen with Injured Wing

    Wren, thanks for your post. you were right. I decided not to bandage her up. I just kept an eye on her and made sure none of the other birds were bothering her etc. She is completely fine now. Goes up to the very top of the coop at night to roost again. =) The problem is she is not very graceful...

    Hen with Injured Wing

    One of my hens hurt her wing. It isn't dragging on the ground or anything, but she holds it kinda low and she wont try to go all the way to the top of the Roost anymore. I read that you should wrap it if it's broken so that it can reset and heal but haven't found anything on sprains. I don't...
