We had three reds. We went out this morning and left them free ranging in the garden. Came back to a big dark bird that flew off, leaving one dead chicken, most of it eaten. Two other chickens missing. Do Buzzards or Red Kites kill and eat chickens?!

and now one of the girls has staretd a strange yawning thing. mouth open, neck stretched just like she is yawning. over and over.

any ideas? the limp seems a bit better today and the diaper cream has perhaps lessened the red a bit. we will re bath her tomorrow since it will be a warmer day than today.

Hi. She was only just over 2. No I don't think. She had.

can i add we only have 3 chickens and the other 2 seem fine. we have no other animals, should worms be a thing to worry about? i thought worms were more of a farm concern..... its confusing. she was only 2 years old.

hi all. it is a sad day in our family. Henrietta, our most friendly chicken died. She has been quiet for a week and has been spending a lot of time standing still and quietly clucking when we go near. No running for flys or running to us as usual. She began to sit down and dose a lot. She was...

Hi all, i am new here and very happy to meet you all. We are a family living in France with three lovely layers. well, two should i say, since Henrietta sadly died today. Is it ok for us to replace her? I have read that chickens dont always take well to a newcomer in their gang? Having three...
