    Filing Chicken Beaks - How

    The ladies are in a 10' x 10' enclosure with a coop. I had put up areas for the younger ones to hide but those areas also ended up being areas that they were cornered and really getting hammered. I also put in a large cat carrier. The young chickens were going in there and not coming out...

    How can I protect my girls?

    Three months ago, I raised 7 chickens from days old with great care. Three weeks ago, I came out to their outdoor enclosed coop/run to find that they were all gone. I was heartbroken and confused. What was left was a small (6 or 7 inch) hole dug under the run and feathers everywhere. What...
