    Completely redoing the set-up this year, going into it with more experience this time. It'll be like Fort Knox in there, no more flimsy fencing. Chicks are arriving tomorrow! :)

    Dog attack - 2 missing, 1 dead, 1 unsure

    2 huskies broke into my chicken run with my 4 hens while i was having my family take care of them- The whole dog attack was less than 3 minutes overall, but had some pretty devasting effects. One of my hens was killed, the other two are still missing and one got badly injured. This was maybe 2/3...

    That was the best picture i was able to get of one of her feet before she clawed the heck out of me 😅

    Oddly lethargic hen, feet seem to be bothering her a lot.

    That might be the case as its very hot where u am right now but that cement block is the only cement thing in the run. Her run is all dirt and i let them out to free range around the yard in the grass and mulch for a couple of hours a day.

    Oddly lethargic hen, feet seem to be bothering her a lot.

    I think its definitely something up with her feet. When i checked them again, they were a bit red on the bottom. She also keeps standing on this cement block i have in their run, and shes not lethargic. She just doesnt want to move- shes not sleepy at all and will run if you try to pick her up.

    Oddly lethargic hen, feet seem to be bothering her a lot.

    I noticed something off about one of my hens this morning when she was super hesitant to go out of the coop. Eventually she did go out after 4 minutes of just standing there and staring, and ate and drank and did her mostly normal morning routine. One of my other hens was being super aggressive...

    1 year old Faverolles Drops dead suddenly

    I was going to bury her yesterday but didn't get around to it, I think the body is probably too old for it at this point. her body is sitting in a bag in the garage, and everyone's weight is pretty average. Their poop looks normal in the coop, just the average-sized brown logs with the bit of...

    RSL/Golden Comet lethargic, not eating/drinking or laying eggs

    I'm still not sure what she had, I found her dead last night around 10:30 when I was checking on her. When I was holding her though, I found a small yellow oval bug crawling on me. could this have been mites?? I'd hate it if it had been because I had checked her over so thoroughly. Her comb was...

    here are her poop and her. her comb looks a little darker than it actually is because of the lighting.

    she didn't vomit it up or anything- but her comb is darker now. not quite purple but it's definitely not red. It's sort of a brownish maroon. She is not doing good. She wont walk if she can help it.

    Just syringe-fed her pretty watered-down feed. probably 2 part water 1 part feed or 3 part water 1 pard feed. syringe fed her 10 mLs of that and then 6 mLs of plain water. ill see how she does with that.

    RSL/Golden Comet lethargic, not eating/drinking or laying eggs

    Just gave her a bath, shes got a spot inside now either until shes better or until she dries off. she was very relaxed in the bath after a bit and pooped a bunch more of the whiteish liquidy poop. She couldn't stand when she first got out of the bath, but after 10-ish minutes she could do a...
