    Our dogs are killing our chickens! We lost 3 last night. Help!!!

    OK I will try that! And we have been locking them up at night, but the chickens have been escaping during the day while we are gone. I'm going to keep them locked up until we get this figured out.

    Our dogs are killing our chickens! We lost 3 last night. Help!!!

    So we recently built a coop and we put some month old chicks out there about 3 days ago. Well one went missing the other day and then returned. We had no clue how it got out. Just today we woke up to one of our smaller dogs eating a chick, and a bigger dog tossing a still live one around which...

    Just hatched some turkeys! What do I need to do now?

    I have hatched baby chicks before but this is my first time hatching turkeys. I have heard that they have trouble learning to eat and drink so I bought two red rangers to go with them and put some shiney dimes in their water dish. But, they still aren't drinking on their own. I have tried...

My plan is to use chicken manure and other compost to enrich the soils in my gardens and grow plants to feed them with throughout the fall and winter. I am stuck on what plants to...

    One of my hens has her wings clipped, but I want to show her...

    I have a beautiful Rhode Island Red hen who I'd like to show in September. I clipped her wings about a 2 months ago. I'm wondering if her feathers will have grown back in by September, or if I won't be able to show her. Also, is there another way besides clipping her wings that I could keep her...

    Stubborn lice! Argg!

    Okay I will try that, thank you so much! But plucking the feathers won't hurt them right? Because I from my experience with parakeets I know some feathers contain blood which can cause some pretty bad blood loss if pulled...

    Stubborn lice! Argg!

    I noticed about a week ago that two of my 4 hens had lice on them. The other 2 seem to be fine, and it seems that it may be only affecting my barred rocks. So I treated them exactly a week ago, and it's getting worse! One hen has lost a good sq inch patch around her vent and even more feathers...

    Barred Rock cockerel or pullet?

    A Cockerel, for sure. The wattle and comb are very red and the tail is rooster-like.

    What kind of chicken? posibbly an easter egger? (with pictures)

    Looks like it. If it's a hen and a EE it will lay greenish blue eggs once it matures.

    Hen went missing months ago, we think someone else has her?

    Yeah, well I only had her for a month before she ran away, but I had been collecting her eggs for incubation and the main reason I want her back is because I have one of her chicks, and also she was the best layer I've ever had. She gave me two eggs in one day once. But she'd be 2 years old so...
