I have 3 silkies
1 rooster 2 hens and 28 other hens.
I want the Silkie rooster to fertilize one of the silkie hens. I don’t think the broody silkie is letting that Rooster on her.
Would it help if I put the rooster and the 2 silkies altogether separate from the other chickens.
Also how many...
Ya know what
There are certain legal defenses that may be used in cases of unintentional hawk killings. These include self-defense, protection of livestock or property, or a permit issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for scientific, educational, or religious purposes.
This guy went after the chickens within 12 hours after he got the duck.
My son in law heard a commotion in the coop. Ran outside picked up a level
Ran in the chicken yard, which yes is covered, coopers hawk was on a hen
Took one look at Lee and didn’t know what hit him
That’ll teach ya. And...
This happened at my daughter’s house. I’m sure she didn’t take pictures. I’ve researched this and it seems most animals, fox raccoon hawk eat their prey. I’m getting to the bottom of this.
We’ve got so many chickens that I don’t want this to be reoccurring
We have about 25 chickens only one silkie rooster and 2 ducks mallards male female. We found the female right at dark with her throat slit. No appearance of anything eaten. They free range all day and go in coop at night. This has been a routine for 2 years with no issues. What predator...
Omg This can’t be this complicated. Can someone tell me how much corid crumbles to feed chickens. I have 28 chickens. I’ll post a picture of the bag and these stupid directions. Yes I realize this is for cows. But I know it can also be calculated for chickens.

I have a dead silver Wyandott.
She died suddenly. She was in nesting box for awhile, I’m not sure how long.
I inspected her vent. It’s red and swollen, also there was a lesion on the side right inside the vent. She had an egg about a 1/4 way up the vent. But it’s possible my Mallard drake...
Thanks so much. She’s doing better. I’m still segregating her. Bathing her in warm water and essential oil. She like oatmeal and yogurt. I have 2 male Peking ducks one mallard male and one female mallard. The female mallard holds her own. But those 2 Peking males seem to team up...
They were both trying to mate her. I thought she was dead at first. She is definitely injured, and I’m sure it’s internal. I have segregated her in the house. I checked her vent, but can’t hardly get in. I will post what has been leaking out.
Ongoing issue
I still have this problem with this hen
Almost limps does not lay. Walks very low to ground, sits a lot. I improved her feed.
Here are more pics
I do not believe she’s starving. The feed with the 3 ingredients has not been her diet that long. I gave her apple cider vinegar in water. She gets a lot of healthy scraps. I believe she had whatever this is before I got her. I went to Tractor Supply to get dewormer and they said they don’t...
