Oh my I am so sorry that is absolutely horrible for those poor babies and for you too having to see such a dreadful thing! I can't tell you what wicked creature did this and hopefully someone will have some answers for you. I have been going through some bad times with my chickens too, it was a...
Thanks so much for your reply, hope a few more will! That is a pretty good idea. I would be so scared for my poor little one that I put in the cage to bait the thing!!
It all started a couple of weeks ago. My chickens have been free range chickens most of their life. I first noticed my pretty red Frizzle rooster went missing! I looked and looked for him but found nothing. I thought maybe he got in a fight with one of the other roosters and was killed I have...
Hi all, Havn't been around for quite some time but I need some help now! I had a duck hatch a baby chicken I saw it running around and brought it in and I am taking care of it! Another one hatched but I think the duck being alot heavier than a chicken hen squashed the chick. Now there is another...

That's a good idea, I think I will do that!! Thanks alot! They are where I can see them and have not seen anything around the shed but I am not positive they are not seeing something!
Hi all, do you have any idea why my roosters are crowing at 3:30 am...these ones are in an open shed roosting with just one fat little Jersey giant hen but could be harmed if they attract something not nice. Why are they doing this? I have been so worried about them. I am a night owl but I go to...
