    ive lost two hens in four days. anyone have an idea why?

    My little one are very happy. One of my 6week old got very upset for some reason and started pecking the 1 week olds so I pulled her out and cuddled her for a bit and she's fine now.

    ive lost two hens in four days. anyone have an idea why?

    I did have to get my husband to build a huge run because we got two foxes running around. My husband got the one and he's been hunting the other one. As soon as he gets it I'll be able to let them out again. I got 27 acres of mountain land so they have lots of room. I got one of my dogs loose...

    ive lost two hens in four days. anyone have an idea why?

    But thats what I cant figure out. No signs whatsoever. Oh I also felt for maybe an impact egg on both but there was nothing. Unless someone can offer another explination I guess I have to assume you are right on sexlinks suddenly dying and that I will be losing the others soon

    ive lost two hens in four days. anyone have an idea why?

    They never showed any signs of stress. They are all happy and I give extra attention to them as they were severely debeaked. They eat beautifully as I put their food (laying pellet) in a bowl for easier eating as they cannot peck at the ground. The are all very trusting of me and come when...

    Please Help Chicken won't Stand at all!!

    Anyone have any ideas: baby was injured during the catching process of the birds. What i can't figure out is where she's damaged. Wings seem to be in tact, legs don't seem to cause pain when moved, tendons seem to be in tact (no swelling). She does have a blue spot on one leg at the joint and...

    I just read a thread on here about rescued broilers and found out that baldness is the result of their bodies grow faster than the feathers and she possibly can live 3 yrs.

    Please Help Chicken won't Stand at all!!

    I don't know how to post a pic. Her poop looks nothing like that pic. The brown water had some white in it (no foam and not oily) and like two or three little dark things in it and she is pooping twice a day. I'm sure she still has a lot of that craphormone food in her.

    Please Help Chicken won't Stand at all!!

    Her poop is brown water but the towel i had her on made her stomach very hot. I switched to a sheet and its much cooler. Plus she wouldn't eat the cracked corn and oats so i mixed egg and shell with it and she ate every bit of it. She didn't eat for about 24 hours but she drank water.

    Please Help Chicken won't Stand at all!!

    I'm already attached. I think she is simply wonderful and i think she trust me. I keep her by my side at all times. Gonna take her outside tomorrow. She's never been in grass or the sun so hopefully she will be more motivated to get better.
