My easter egger has been laying eggs with weak shell recently. We started to give her oyster shells but today I found most of an egg that was cracked and she was in the nesting box with a chunk of egg shell hanging from her butt. We got what we could see out. I saw something about warm baths...

the thing is that the black chicken is dominant over the golden chicken who is dominant over the white chicken who is dominant over the black chicken....is there any chance that it will stay that way or will someone take over completely??

also the black chicken who was originally second in command has not been treating her any differently and hasn't really been challenging her either

I have three chickens, one was recently attacked by a hawk and was recovering in our house for a while. We started letting her out with the other chickens. (She was originally the alpha.) The chicken who was once at the bottom was attacking her for a little while and now is pulling out her...

Thank you for your help! we did catch it...but turns out its mate escaped with it...we saw it shortly after catching the 1st one...hopefully this one will be easier to catch!!

I had two pet diamond doves and my last recently died....I was out walking the other week and took a double take when I saw a diamond dove in my yard. I just saw it again today and it keeps coming back into our yard...I have tried to slowly walk up to it and grab it which hasn't worked...i doubt...

my goats are full grown 7 or 8 years old...no hawk or owl would even try touching our goats...they are far too big...

wow! ok maybe I will try that

also does anyone know if the 2nd in charge chicken will end up taking over? she has been trying to challenge the injured chicken since her injury...

ok awesome! i will have to look into that

I think they do for the most part we have had our chickens for 3+ years and we have only had one attack, which was actually last week...The chicken is doing ok though...

ok...We put her in for an hour or so the past couple days and the one other chicken is starting to challenge her although she is challenging back...do I need to put something on her back to protect it??

one of our chickens was recently attacked by a hawk...she is ok but has missing feathers on her neck and upper back...When we put her back with the other chickens will they peck at her missing feathers...do we need to cover it up or should we not worry about it. (She is the alpha chicken)

No my hens are just finishing up molting so they havent been laying eggs.

It happened for a couple weeks but stopped after a while....my chicken ended up dying....thank you for your help!

I dont think lice is the thing....my chicken is now back in the coop but another one of my chickens decided to stay on top

I have a light sussex, an easter egger, a barred rock, and a silver laced wyandote... 10,904

Thank you!!!!!!
