    Hen with back of head/neck ripped open/scalped.

    My sweet girl Maude is all torn open on the back of her neck. I noticed her many of her feathers were missing the other day, but figured it was from the rooster. This afternoon I opened the chickens to let them out and 1 is dead on the floor, and Maude is scalped! The dead one appears to have...

    Hawk, fox or coyote? Whodunit?

    I've lost 2 gals in as many weeks. The first was 2 weeks ago (Thursday), kids playing out back, lots of noise and commotion. We let our (10) 14/15 week old girls out to freerange with the big (1 yr old) girls. Kids came inside for lunch, and when I went out to put the girls away, 1 was...

    1 yr old Welsummer was "missing" for 5 days, now is back??

    Could she be broody sitting on eggs out somewhere? She came back very hungry and weak, doing a lot of scratching and fluffing of her feathers. She was always my 'talker' and she was doing a strange shrill-like talk. I thought I would dust her and put her in with my 12 week olds to make sure...

    My 1 yr old brahma, Lady was acting a little punky so I took a good look at her yesterday. She appeared to have mites/lice so I dusted her with the Poultry dust, dusted the coop, changed the shavings - new food, fresh water. The works. First thing this morning I looked to see if she was...

    Ratty feathers, balding and scaby? What gives?

    I've got 10 chicks, 4 weeks old. Yesterday I noticed the tail feathers of one EE pecked almost gone and she was bleeding. I immediately brought her inside, rinsed her off to get a good look. Her tail feathers are coming in and they look huge like they made her bleed, then she got pecked. I...

    I didn't get the eggs yesterday, is she broody now?

    I wandered out with treats and all but 1 girl came running. My 1 yr old Maran is busy sitting on eggs in the nest box. When I took some treat to her she ate it, but then sounded like she was 'purring.' Her 'sister' was watching me pretty closely too, almost protectively. Could she have...

    What to put chicks outside in?

    My chicks have to be enclosed in something as my big girls will be way too nosey to leave them alone. Is there something I can build for them to go out in?

    How does the hatchery sex the chicks at 1 day old?

    I couldn't tell if what I had were pullets or roo's until someone crowed! How do the hatcheries sex them so little?

    Change in flock rank, broody or depressed? Oh boy.

    I've had a time of it recently..... I had a 1 yr old Buff orp slowly decline over the past couple weeks. I never could figure out what was wrong with her, no symtoms of anything, but today she passed away. I believe that she was pecked (almost to death) by some of the others in the flock...

    Coop built alongside the garden?

    I have searched on here, before anyone tells me to do a search..... We are going to build a garden with raised beds, enclosed with fencing. I'd like to incorporate the coop and run into the fencing of the garden. If you have done this, I'd love to see pictures. Also love to hear...
