    need help it’s urgent

    Sorry if this isn’t the right thread for it but I found a bunch of baby swallows screaming for their mother while flopping around in the grass and I think they fell out of the nest. My cat ate two of them but I managed to rescue one (and yes the mother is nearby she kept trying to distract my...

    Dog safe coop ideas?

    Two days in a row now my neighbours dog has been running into our backyard and just stands around the chicken coop staring at them and barking as they cluck in fear (I assume it’s in fear what else would it be). I don’t know how worried I should be because my family don’t take it seriously and...

    Neighbour’s dog attacked my hens

    Our nextdoor neighbours have a big white fluffy dog, I was outside with my hens today next to them while they free range and their dog ran after my cat and noticed my hens. The moment the dog saw them it went after them, the ones from my flock flew or ran away and the dog was barking all over...

    Need help with chicken limping

    So, last night I got some news about a chicken that’s not part of my flock being hurt, apparently she had stepped on something sharp and under her leg she has a wound. Her wound has been washed since and coated with Vaseline before she was handed over to me so there’s no bleeding right now but...

    So one of my hens is having her first molt, today i let them out of their winter coop into the bigger outdoors one and I saw one of the other hens attacking her and pulling out several of the feathers on her head. Should I be worried? I tried to separate her from the flock but she went back to...

    Hen acts strange ?

    I’ve seen two of my hens do this but I don’t understand why? They cluck while gathering eggs and putting the eggs under themselves and fluff up like broody hens do but then a few minutes later they’ll get up and act like nothing happened or instead they’ll lay an egg and do what I assume is the...

    worried about my hen

    For context it’s winter here and it has been extremely cold and dry to the point my chickens have refused to leave their coop unless it’s a 5 min leg stretch, so they’ve been inside most of the time. During this time one of my super loud, curious and dominant hens stopped laying eggs and her...

    I got this chicken from someone due to a fox eating most of their flock, i can’t figure out what breed she is or age for that matter..is she old or a pullet ? I think she’s a pullet but someone else said she’s an old hen that’s just small I’m so confused. Also excuse the mess in the background...

    what breed is this?

    the only thing I know about them is that they lay green eggs and that they fly a lot and they’re good at it since they’re so small and on the “skinnier” side, we got them from their previous owner who gave them away after a fox killed most of their flock. Their personalities are very shy, they...

    Broody hen but no eggs (the eggs disappeared?)

    so one of our hens randomly decided to not come out of the coop every 3 days or so and just sleep in and lay on eggs and we have no rooster currently for this flock so there’s no way those eggs are fertile but today when she went out I went to check on the eggs and they’re gone? There were 5...

    teach kitten to leave chickens alone?

    I’m sorry if this is the wrong place to post this thread I didn’t know where to put it but how do you guys teach your kittens or cats to leave your flock alone? We have a kitten now and at first it was hilarious seeing him hang around them and try to smell and touch them but now some of them...

    I have this cockerel who is 10/11 weeks old now, he already is trying to mate one of the older hens (not the pullets his age but the proper old ones) is this normal at that age because apparently we have two other cockerels and they don’t mate with anyone or even crow like he does but he crows...

    Why does chicken stare at me when I pet it?

    i hope this question is not weird but I have this 10-11 week chicken and it sits down next to me sometimes and I pet it’s stomach and it just stares at me or bends it’s neck and follows my finger around when I pet it but it doesn’t run away. This chicken has always been forward and ever since it...
