    Chickens not eating after predator attack

    Hoping someone on here has some feedback. We had 8 healthy hens that would be a year old in May. 10 days ago we had our first attack (the coop was accidentally left open) and something(s) got in and killed 3 hens in less than 10 seconds. I'm assuming it was a gang of raccoons, but we couldn't...

    Sick Chicken No idea what is wrong

    Found my almost 2 year old RIR sitting by herself, picked her up she is skin and bones (it happens so fast) and empty crop. Thinking she was egg bound (she has had cracked egg on her butt feathers before, but never any problems) I put her in a hot tub for nearly an hour. She just sat there. A...

    Help! RIR suddenly very aggressive

    She will be 2 early May. She has never been aggressive like this. I will continue the higher protein diet. Hopefully she will chill out. Out of curiosity, what is your most effective way of showing "who is boss?" Thanks for all of the feedback!!!

    For all you Polish Lovers!!!! Please read (and chicken lovers too :))

    I have to share this story with BYC. In May I got 3 chicks. Was only planning on getting 2 (Americaunas), but fell in love with the poofy headed baby (Polish) Fast forward and Polish has revealed himself to be a cute sweet rooster. The 3 babies were having a hard time fitting in with my 5 hens...

    Day 3 of dealing with large laceration in side of my favorite hen

    Hey Ruth, I'm being reminded of when one of my girls was chewed up by my neighbors dog. Long story, but when I went to go get her body from the dog, there she was, looking at me. It took about 3 weeks as she had huge tears in her skin. I figured there was so way it could heal they were so large...

    Tiny white mites only in the wood of coop. Advice

    Just wondering if anyone has experienced this. We have been dealing with teeny white (I think they are mites) bugs which were infesting the laying house. We finished removing the entire house today and we have built just a small nesting box to replace it. I have inspected my chickens...

    My Daisy Attacked by neighbor's dog. Advice on wounds please

    Thanks for all of the advice everyone. I realized last night that a feather had just gotten stuck to the muscle. It came off smoothly after lots of betadine/water rinsing. Another question...do you think it is best to just keep her inside in the dark? Or should I let her out during the day and...

    One of my girls as attacked by the neighbors dog yesterday. Fortunately he was more "playing" with her. Not only is she alive, but she is eating, drinking, and even layed an egg today. My concern is her wounds. The dog pulled out quite a bit of feathers on her back between her wings. Yesterday...

    Need advice. Been trying to fix bumblefoot

    I'm a little terrified about cutting into the top. An advice? All I can find online is about cutting into the bottom. Will it bleed a lot? Should I just make an incision on top of the swollen part and squeeze? Thank you all so much for your help.

    Need advice. Been trying to fix bumblefoot

    Photos attached. A week and a half ago I removed the plug and some additional cheesy stuff from my hen's foot. The foot is still swollen (see photos) but not too bad. I don't know if the swelling is due to more cheesy stuff or just the natural healing process. I have been trying to leave it...
