I free range my flock.
Yesterday around 3:00 in the afternoon, I noticed a squawking noise from the woods behind my house. I noticed a small clump of feathers in the pipeline and a light trail of feathers that lead into a thicket. I grabbed my .22 pistol and set out on a chicken rescue mission...
I didn't leave my beagle out for patrol duty last night and lost 3 and have one injured. The top of the beak has been broken off at the skin. Will it grow back? Also has skin ripped from neck. Should I go ahead and cull?
I've got 6 reds and six rocks that have been on 20% dumor starter. I am in a pinch and the only thing available was 24% dumor starter. Will I be ok to feed them this? They are about 2 weeks old and feathering out nicely.
