My Carla got chomped on probably by a fox, a couple of nights ago. I thought she just lost feathers but I looked closer and she has deep gashes in her back and tail. This is when livestock become pets. I took her to the vet and they cleaned her woulds, trimmed the feathers away from the area...
We live in the suburbs. Today a neighborhood beagle chased my 3 hens out of our fenced yard and away. There's no sign of them. The stupid dog went home. My husband is out looking for the birds. Is there a chance they will come home on their own?
