    PLEASE HELP! QUICK ADVICE NEEDED!

    2 baby chicks were born sometime today, not sure exactly when. 1 is walking around fine and the other one is walking and falling over. Pretty much just wanting to sit. Is this normal for a just hatched chick?

    Weight loss after dog attack.

    So in a previous post I had posted that our 1 year old hen got attacked by a dog. We took her to the vet, they cleaned her up, stitched her up and gave antibiotics. We kept her separated in a smaller coop within the main coop for about 2 weeks. Wow, did she loose alot of weight! She is back...

    It finally happened to us. Dog attack! ** graphic pic**

    Our neighbor came to the door to nicely let us know that their dog got out and killed one of our chickens. I got dressed and went outside so they could show me where the body was and it was gone! Quite a few feather trails later and we found her trying to hide in a pile of dead weeds with...

    Can Anyone Tell Me What This Is?

    This little chick is 1 week old. He is holding up his foot and picking at it. We picked off a tiny piece of skin that was dangling and put neosporin on both feet so it might soften it up. He is the last one hatched and he hides under momma a lot. Also, his legs appear wet. Anything more...
