    Arizona Chickens

    Hi friends! After a bobcat decimated our flock last year we haven't owned chickens. My daughter is now involved in her high school FFA and she's looking for a show quality birds for the fair. We are most interested in Cream Legbar, Orpingtons, or Wyandottes, but will consider other breeds. Thanks!

    Bobcat wiped out my flock and left one injured.. Help needed.

    Nothing. I think your right, shes paralyzed on the one side. DH wants to euthanize her and eat her. Im a bit squeamish as we have never done either....

    Bobcat wiped out my flock and left one injured.. Help needed.

    She has no visable sign of injuries. I tried putting the last lone hen with her and the healthy hen just pecked her like mad so I took her out. Shes eating ok. I have had her in isolation for 5 days no with no signs of improvement.

    Bad luck with chickens... maybe 3rd time will be the charm!

    Yes! Oh lets see a bob cat came in and and ate half my flock (which was a real fluke because I live in a major city in the desert and bobcats are not known to this area) and then a dog ate all but one(got rid of the dog), and yesterday she got out and drown in our in ground pool. So I have 8...
