My rooster was attacked by his own offspring. I am not assuming I actually saw it on my cameras. The two young roosters ganged up on him, surrounding him and attacking from all directions he didn’t have a chance😭. He is alive his injuries were mostly on their comb, my concern is that he doesn’t...
My rooster was attacked by his two juvenile offspring, I saw it all in my surveillance camera (yes one is pointing directly to their coop) I was so sad to see how the two of them attacked him at the same time, my poor boy didn’t have visible injuries other than his comb, but he doesn’t stand up...
Hi everyone, today my chicks hatched, I was fascinated, they all look like daddy rooster, I wanted to see my dear Duffey again in her chicks (she was killed recently 😞) but they all look like my rooster. Let me share my journey; my Delaware left a couple of eggs before the tragedy, and I had one...

I am so sad, devastated, hurt... so many feelings. I’ve had my chickens for over a year. They always hang out together with no issues, my chickens will even rest close to my dog. Last week I woke up to find feathers everywhere and the legs of one of my chickens. I thought an opossum killed it...
Hurricane Hanna is approaching our city (south Texas). My flock is out and about like nothing. I really thought they were going to sense danger and get themselves to their coop. However they’re acting like nothing is happening ranging around my yard (about half acre). There are trees and shrubs...
Hi everyone I’m a new chicken owner. I began my chicken journey around August, when no covid 19 was around. I went to the store to buy dog food and my 4 year old insisted on buying chickens. I saw them fragile and cheap, so I assumed they weren’t going to last. I took 4 “girls” they looked all...
