Just found this in a nest box. What the heck is it? It looks like a bloody egg yolk laid all by itself....?

I'm just curious...When a chicken eats a mouse whole, how long does it stay in the crop? Does it have to break down before it moves through? Can it cause an impaction? Thanks for any info!

I have a 2 year old mixed breed bantam who has progressively become weaker to where she is no longer walking. It started several weeks ago after coming out of a broody spell. At first she seemed lethargic and sleeping a lot. Her poops looked normal (no diarrhea or blood) but often had...

Yesterday I noticed a mouse dug under the edge of the coop run to get to the feed inside. I have large stones around the outside edge, but they are irregular and it found a small spot it could get in. Rats wouldn't be able to get in, but mice can. I have 3 four month old gold laced wyandotte...

My husband and I are preparing for our first chickens and we are getting the coop all set up. We made our own PVC pipe feeder and want to know what height to hang it. Since we want to hang it on the outside and the lower feeder arm will go through the hardware cloth to the inside, we want to...
