Thanks for the responses guys. I decided to hire a professional to come do it as its illegal in my state and I wouldn't know what to do with it anyways.

Found a coon in the yard today and I hope to trap it tomorrow. Can anybody suggest a bait? Also, I've been considering installing a couple of nite guards. Has anyone had any experience with this and can testify to its functionality? Thank you

Funny how you find yourself eating your words. not more than an hour after I posted I was in my backyard to dump some garbage near the coop. As I was walking back there my dog starts chasing something. He eventually trees it and I see a pair of red eyes looking at me. It was a coon. Got...

Talked to my neighbor and apparently he's in the middle of building a coop and has nowhere to put them. I'd volunteer my coop but that could bring all kinds of problems. The kills were really inconsistent. One morning all I found were feathers and blood no body. The next morning I found a body...

So for the past week my neighbor's chickens have made a night time roost out of one of my trees. The tree provided pretty good cover from rain and predators, so I thought nothing of it. Yesterday morning I awoke to find a pile of feathers and blood scattered. The following night I heard some...

February 12 update I am continuing to irrigate the wound with a mixture of sterilized water and iodine. Additionally I'm also applying neosporin to the wound and administering cephlaxin three times daily. So far she's showing lots of visible improvement. Starting to stand after two days of...

Her tail hasn't been completely severed it's just cut up pretty bad I guess. Today when I was cleaning her I noticed a little bit of swelling and redness (infection?) near her vent. I called all the local feed stores to see if I can get a shot of antibiotics for her but they all just...

Thought I'd give a daily update to all those who have been kind enough to help and concerned enough to care. And also in the hope that this thread may help someone in the future. Today my barred rock, who's referred to around the house as crooked comb seems to be more alert. She did have some...

The dog got a serious reprimanding and is never going to be allowed around chickens again. So, is it a good idea to irrigate the wound daily?

o thats awful im glad shes okay though. Hopefully all will be well here.I'll try to update soon

thank you she is resting in my restroom as we speak.

Today my german shepherd who has shown no interest in my chickens in the past walked up with our most beloved 2 year old barred rock chicken in his mouth. After he let her go I noticed the lacerations from her lower back to her vent. the feathers are almost completely gone and so is the skin...

Thank you, I will certainly add a bit of garlic and acv to their diet this week. Appreciate the quick responses guys.

Hi, this will be my first post so please forgive me if I'm posing this question in the wrong section. I currently have five chickens roughly 2 years old. All of them seem to be behaving normally except my golden wyandotte. She has always been the more reclusive of the bunch, but recently she...
