    Bantam Hen Attacked By Small Dog...

    My bantam hen was attacked by a small dog today. He ripped the skin off of her back- it was horrible. She walked slowly to my fiancee when he found her and eagerly ate food and drank water when offered. Ten hours later, she was still alert and communicative (quiet clicks to say "I love you"...

    How to clean a dirty chicken?

    I have two beautiful bantams who free-range in my backyard. This year they found my tomato plants and started jumping up to peck tomatoes, which burst all over their faces and created very dirty little chickens over time. A side-effect is that it looks like dried blood, which is disconcerting...

    aggressive bantam cochin hen?

    Any ideas on what to do with a cochin bantam pullet who is acting aggressively to my boyfriend and I when we touch her or the other bantam pullet we have? They are both at laying age, but are not laying, and the one chicken pecks REALLY hard. She also pecks at the other one, but only when we...

    Help! How much do we feed our pullet?

    I know this is a TOTAL rookie question, but a pullet showed up on our back patio and won't leave. So now we are looking at keeping it for egg laying, but are unsure of how much layer feed to give her daily. She forages constantly for bugs and munches on plants from our garden, but we don't...

    mystery chicken

    A couple of days ago we found a chicken in our suburban backyard. We have no idea where she came from, but she is not interested in leaving. She allows us to pet her, sits next to our cat, and pecks at the back patio door as if asking to be let in. She also follows my boyfriend (the first one...
