    Anyone know how to identify feathers? Possibly a hawk?

    We live in Oregon so there is a lot of predatory birds here but we're in a urban area so it seems strange but I have spotted hawks and eagles in the past. We also have huge trees and a big open lot next to us. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out.

    Anyone know how to identify feathers? Possibly a hawk?

    We lost one of our best hens last night :( We found this feather in the coop.. It's brown and none of our hens have any brown feathers anywhere. Can anyone identify it? My husband says he heard the chickens freaking out this morning at dawn but when he looked out he didn't see anything and...

    Chicken began drooling and then dropped a shelless egg.. (Pictures)

    Idk maybe.. She's stopped laying since but it's only been a day so I'll see what happens tomorrow. She doesn't seem egg bound or stressed but we'll see I guess.

    Chicken began drooling and then dropped a shelless egg.. (Pictures)

    My daughter was holding one of our younger hens and suddenly she began to drool which I just happened to get a pic of and then she dropped a shelless egg.. My daughter felt it hit her on the way to the ground an she said it was really hot.. I think the liquid that came out with the egg is what...

    I have a hen that is not laying and will not stop eating the other hens eggs.. Any advice?

    It's possible. I thought maybe she was so I watched her closely for a few days but I never once saw her go anywhere to lay. She pretty much just scratches all day, or dirt bàthes and follows the other hen around.

    I have a hen that is not laying and will not stop eating the other hens eggs.. Any advice?

    Maybe.. She had a really big molt this past autumn. She looked terrible! I took that into account. Autumn is pretty mild here where we live so the other hen was still laying. She was also being bullied by our other hen at the same time she was molting- well to be honest we never did figure out...

    I have a hen that is not laying and will not stop eating the other hens eggs.. Any advice?

    Yes, I'm sure it's her as I've caught her in the act. She's only just turned two which is the same age as one of my other hens. I just don't get why she stopped laying in the summer. Now seems perfectly normal but summer? I'll try the dish soap idea (I've also heard of trying mustard) and I...

    We butchered our roosters today and I bawled like a baby.. Has anyone else ever had this reaction?

    Thank you everyone for your replies! I'm glad to know I'm not alone. Things are better now. :)

    I have a hen that is not laying and will not stop eating the other hens eggs.. Any advice?

    It's just the one hen.. She hasn't laid since June. I thought maybe she was just hiding them because she did that a lot but I've been all over the yard and found no eggs. I've checked all the possibilities.. She has plenty of water, food etc. She may be stressed but I don't think she is...

    We butchered our roosters today and I bawled like a baby.. Has anyone else ever had this reaction?

    My husband and a friend were out back butchering the roosters.. I didn't want to see it nor did I want it to happen but it had to be done. Someone came over and wanted to go back there so I took this person back there thinking my husband probably hadn't started yet because he just got out...

    My rooster is limping and making screeching noises, what could this be?

    I'm wondering if he's been injured but I can't catch him to investigate, he runs so fast, despite his limping and he hides in the bushes. I have to wait for my husband to get home to help I suppose but until then I was wondering if anyone else has had this behavior happen and was the result of...
