Im trying to figure out what killed our 3-4 week old chicks. We had 10. 3 missing, 5 found dead and 2 still alive. The ones found dead were still in the coop. One had a small patch of feathers missing on its chest, looked like something bite it, but wasnt very deep... a few had, I think small...
I had 27 eggs in the incubator and on the 22nd day 2 hatched. It is now day 23 and nothing has happened with the others. Is that bad? Is there still hope for the others? Everthing went smoothly, I don't understand why only 2 hatched. When I candled them on day 17 there was atleast 11 alive. Any...
Our neighbor that lives up the road has a pack of dogs(about 6-8) that have been terrorizing our animals, they killed my duck, my favorite rooster and five other chickens. It started out just them coming down here and barking at our pet pot belly pig,attacking her and then they started messing...
I know she isn't pregnant. She is outside, is she just making a nest to keep warm? She isnt missing patches of fur or anything, I just noticed clumps of fur in her hutch when I went to feed her.Is this normal? Any advise is appreciated

My hen recently hatched three cute healthy babies. They were three days old today, They all seemed very healthy and active earlier today. Well, I went outside to go check on them and I noticed one was missing. So, I looked in the back of the pen and there he was just laying there and at first I...
My hen just started laying and she wont lay in the nest box. I move the eggs in there everyday but she still wont lay in there. I dont know if she will go broody or not but its sooo hot outside, will they incubate themselves? She has about six eggs in there.
I had two hens and one rooster. Now I only have one hen, the rooster was laying in the chicken pen dying, I cant tell how. The other hen was gone. I walked around the pen...nothing, no evidence of something digging or the fence wasnt messed up. I found a few feathers...but thats it. The other...
