    Pullet With Unknown Leg Injury - Please Help!

    One of my 14 week old pullets got out of the run yesterday (totally my fault; I've since fixed the issue) and the dog got a hold of her. Thankfully, the dog just grabbed her and ran, but didn't make it too far before we caught up. She was definitely in shock last night - panting, etc. After...

    Help With Predator-proofing, Please!

    We're planning a chicken coop/run, and our best spot (we think) is along a wood wind break fence in our yard. We live on the hi-line in northern Montana, so wind is a big issue here. My concern with this placement, though, is that the 8 ft fence might allow access to predators who want to...
