    Attacked Chicken

    Recently a chicken of mine was attacked by either a dog or owl. She survived ok but with a sizable cut right above her leg. Not sure what to do, should I try to treat it or maybe it would be better to go to a vet? Thanks.

    Chickens and goats/sheep

    I'm thinking of getting goats/sheep (one or two) maybe both. The only problem, I don't know how they're going to get along with the chickens. Will they trample them? Thanks!

    Wandering Flock

    My chickens are free range since I can't put a fence around the yard and I don't want to keep them cooped up. Lately they've started wandering into our neighbors yard and down the road. Any ideas on how to keep them in the yard? Thanks!

    Weird foot

    One of my chickens has a very interesting foot, the left one is fine, but the right one is bumpy, the scales are really big and kinda misshapen, it has little nobs all over it. I'm just wondering if this is something wrong or if its fine. Thanks!

    The place where I get feed doesn't have young chickens feed (chick feed) so is there anyway to make your own feed? If so what should I put in it?

    Cedar chips?

    I wouldn't use it because cedar has chemicals that can harm small animals including chickens. I have rabbits and do not use it with them. For my chickens I use straw and unharmful wood shavings which seems to work well.

    How much to feed? Please help!!!!!!!!!

    If your chickens throwing their food around is a problem (which it is) it probably depends on what kind of bowl or tray you have for them to eat out of. I use a shallow tray that works very well. Also if your chickens spend time outside you don't need to feed them as much food as caged chickens...
