My flock was attacked by unknown predator. We have one Silver Lace Polish rooster that survived but his feathers were plucked out of his head. We have him in our bathtub now to gently wash his wound but we weren't sure if we could use Neosporin, or what else we could use. So far the only...

Love your photo. Cute "No Hunting" sign. :)

For the past two weeks we have been having a problem with an unknown predator or predators. I live in Ohio and we have coyotes, skunks, raccoons, opossums, crows, and hawks. On one of my frequent trips to my barn and fenced in area to feed my Silkie chickens, Guinea Fowl, and Jumbo Pekin...

My husband and I have several different birds along with 4 Jumbo Peking ducks. 3 ducks and 1 drake. We use to have 4 but some unknown predator got him. He was my favorite. He had a pale pink bill. I've never seen another with a bill like his before. Are they rare? Do you know where I...

I love your quote Iuvmychix!

The temp pen was only 4ft, not tall enough, I know. Our barn has a large outside pen that is 6ft tall. That is where they all are now. I don't have electricity in our barn but I saw solar powered electric fences at Tractor Supply Company. Anybody have any experience with that?

My husband and I live in Ohio so we get a fair amount of coyotes in the country. I'm just shocked that there was no damage to the fence, there was no sign of a struggle, and all of our Silkie chickens and their chicks were unharmed. Well, we've made improvements and have gotten our barn mostly...

Awww! Thanks everyone. <3

I think they were both girls. Neither of them strutted and their snood stayed relatively small. Unfortunately, they were two months old when an unknown predator got them. I'll have to wait till I add more security on our farm and then purchase more turkeys in March when the farmer breeds...

This is Zorro my Silkie rooster. He's such a handsome boy. I've raised him since he was one day old. He has always been sweet and gentle to our family and to his five hens. He is protective of them and has just been a joy to have around. He and my five hens are two years old and we recently...

I'm just wondering, what kind of predator could have taken my favorite Jumbo Peking duckling and both of my juvenile Narragansett turkeys? We had them in a temporary pen that had a 4ft chicken wire fence 200ft long around a chicken coop. We were in the process of moving them from our nursery...

It is perfectly normal. A fart egg, also known as a wind egg or dwarf egg, is a small egg that is typically laid by a young hen (pullet). These eggs usually do not contain a yolk and were often thought to be laid by roosters in olden times. With pullets, the thinking is that the egg is a...

My husband and I purchased 4 Narragansett turkeys from Plum Run Poultry here in Ohio. Unfortunately only 2 survived shipping. We were disappointed, especially since we were hoping for a breeding pair. The 2 surviving turkeys are 1 month old here in this photo. We are thinking that maybe we...
