    hen not eating...

    My cat got outside this AM and tormented the chickens for a bit before I grabbed her and put her inside. I noticed a few feathers (nothing too much). But I also noticed that my ameraucana looks Luke the tip of her beak "peeled off" and looks bloody but not bleeding. I've seen her scrape her...

    total newb here...

    I have a small elevated coop and a run that is not closed in at the top. Stupid questions; 1) if I clip a wing, can I not worry about the 6' high fence that surrounds them? Not many predators out here, very suburban.if they leap a fence there are dogs everywhere. 2) I plan on leaving the coop...
