It is w tearing eyes and a heavy heart I wrote this. My heart is broken today when found my dearest sweet hen Flora was killed by a hawk. It is being sunny and no much wind so I let her and the flock out of coop for a dust bath steps away from my house under a tree. They were doing it happily so...

Two days ago, my alpha rooster's left leg became a little limp. There is no obvious injuries. It lasted for two days i thought he would recover eventually. But when I open the coop this morning to let them out, the Alpha could even barely walk. I wonder what could have made it worse? What...
Since my little white hen was killed by an owl two days ago I have now only one hen left with four roosters. They are all seven months old. I don't have the heart to "process" the roosters. I am thinking separate them from the only hen I have now. My question is: will my only hen be lonely to be...
