Not my question, but I found this youtuber asking for help. Following his video to see what could be the reason for poor egg laying of his chickens. Any ideas maybe the introduction of the new chickens has started a pecking order dispute?
Recently I noticed a mouse coming out of my wall. I set up some traps and got 2. I can't believe how much they love to eat them. Turning mice into eggs 😎.
A while back one of my chickens lost a bunch of feathers on her head and had some scratches. She is doing better and regrowing the feathers. Yet I'm wondering if maybe a local hawk got her, but she got away somehow. Check out the pics below.
