    I have a mixed flock of 9 hens and 4 pullets. Today when I collected the eggs there was a very small speckled egg in the box.

    Injured Chicken - Attacked by a dog

    One of my chickens got out of the coop and was attacked by my neighbors dog. Fortunately she wedged herself under a wooden step so her injuries are not as bad as they could have been.

    Not sure what's going on. Please Help.

    *Update* I'm pretty sure it's a leg injury. Details in post #4. A couple days ago I noticed my 23 week old EE pullet sitting more than usuall. She would walk a bit, then slowly lower herself to a resting position. Yesterday she also had her mouth open, it was hot, but it seemed exaggerated...

    My beautiful Speckled Sussex has all of a sudden decided she is the honorary Rooster and started pecking (and sometimes full on attacking) me almost every time i go out there. I have started just facing her and holding still until she backs down, and that has helped quite a bit. I've seen...
