What is the best method to put a chicken out of its misery painlessly and without distress. One of my chickens was injured by a pine martin that grabbed her through a wire fence with apertures of 2" X 3" pulling off a wing and part of a leg and I wanted to put it down quickly. I could not do it...
Help - One of my girls has eaten an antibiotic tablet our cat spat out. The active ingredients are Spiramicina, Metronidazolo, Eccipienti q.b.a. for a 2kg cat. It happened so quickly I am not sure which chicken got it. Any one know what effect it will have or poisonous.
One of my new chickens' poo is soft forming 1" round flattish drops, light brown inside and darker where the air has got to it, it is hard to clean and stick to cleaning utensils. She has always done this and is just starting to lay,Is this any thing to worry about?
Ciao Tutti.
Thanks for your site it a great place for things you need to know about chickens. We live in a country area of Sicily where dogs are kept chained up all day & night 12 months a year (and it can get down to freezing for a few weeks a year) and only have an up-turned sink for shelter...
