Happy to report our lone hen clementine has mad a full recovery! She laid her first egg since the attack this week! We keep her indoors these days. She will go back outside this spring. She has been laying an egg almost everyday! The neighbor also gave us money for our other hens, an replacement...
Thank you, I will keep you posted. Out hen Clementine is still the same, eating an drinking, but not standing. At this point I hope I am not causing her unnecessary suffering. We will see, hope she starts to improve soon, we sit outside with her in the sun an she just talks an closes her eyes...
Thank you for the advice! We do have the remaining hen inside, she is doing ok but we are not sure if she will recover. She is eating an drinking, an she is "talking" to us like normal, but she is not standing. She is missing many feathers, broken beak, an has 2 black eyes! We did contact the...
This morning our neighbors dog completely ripped apart our coop, an killed all but one of of our chickens. Lost 6 chickens total! My question is will he have to pay for damages or am I at a loss for a coop an 6 egg laying hens?

Awesome thank you!! With her being a new layer is it normal for her to go 3 days with out laying? I have tons or books, an I've done research but can never find detailed answers!
I dont trust their dog with them, never will. She is new to laying, she has laid 2 eggs so far. I guess I'm wondering if she would lay in the woods? Or if she was in the yard would she go to the coop to lay? I dont know if she has laid more than what she has put in the coop or not.....
Hello! I have a question about my newly laying hen. She has only laid twice but I've noticed she lays between 2-5pm. She, along with the rest of the flock have been in the coop an run 2 days this week all day, those are the days I got eggs in the coop. The neighbors dog was here those days, an...
