    HELP! BLOOD DRIPPING FROM HENS EYES!

    A few days ago i noticed one of my BO'S was looking sick. Her eyes were puffy and she has absolutely no energy. It seems to be getting worse by the day and starting today there was blood dripping from her left eye. I need advice on what to do as soon as possible.

    Havahart trap not trapping coons.

    I guess i will keep setting the trap every night the same way i did last night. I have cement poured around the coop so they wont dig anymore and i put some better latches on the doors.

    How do i sell roosters on craigslist.

    With the first guy i could tell he hardly knew any english, he spelled things wrong and didn't punctuate at all. Then he called me and he was obviously hispanic and he said my animals need them. That was my red flag. Then another guy called me from a town known for a lot of crime, drugs so i...

My guess is he was really working to get that...

    Havahart trap not trapping coons.

    I am for sure that there is more than one. Tonight i am going to put marshmallows underneath the trap therefor it makes them work harder to grap it.

    Havahart trap not trapping coons.

    The coon hasnt been tipping the cage because i have a 40lb rock on top of it. Im going to try building walls around it like Ridgerunner said so it isnt likely to reach in and grab the marshmallows. I am thinking about getting one of those dogproof traps as it seems they work best.

    Havahart trap not trapping coons.

    The problem i have is that some of my birds dont sleep in the coop at night and every once in a while i forget to get one and in the morning theres feathers and a ripped up carcass in the yard.I like the idea about making a box to put over it but how are the stealing the bait and tripping the trap?

    My mothering hen just layed an egg?

    Ok the chicks didnt seem to upset that she ditched them. I tried to see if the broody silkie with 6 three week old chicks would take them but i guess she decided 6 was enough for her and pecked them away. Now thier sleeping in there little kennel alone.

    My mothering hen just layed an egg?

    I have a hen that has been raising chicks for a little over 3 weeks now and just about ten minutes ago i watched her lay an egg. I keep hearing that a mothering hen will not lay eggs while brooding but this one did. Any thoughts?

    Mystery predator?

    Today is the last day in wich those critters shall live. In the past two months i have lost 15 chickens and im getting tired of it. I have the bait set up with wind chimes and the rifle sitting by the door. Im sure no raccoon or skunk could resist cat food, egg, and freshly caught trout.

    Will a barred rock x buff orpington mix be a broody hen

    It was okay until the raccoon found there spot and killed one of them. We moved the other hen and she is happily raising the four chicks she hatched.The raccoon also decided he wanted most of the eggs so thats why there is only four chicks.
