That's a good idea. Everyone I know that would be interested and able to keep a few either already have their own flock or a dog/cat that wouldn't be compatible. We would have tried to rehome her after the second-to-last one died but no one thought she would live this long. We've been reading...

Thank you for the response. Yes, I'm nervous about causing problems on either side. I would feel terrible if it caused problems in his flock as those belong to his two very young 4h'ers. Also, I won't have any control over how much effort they would put into the integration. I think she did have...

Thank you for the response. :-) I agree that would be the best option but my kid is in college now and doesn't live there. I would love to take her and get a couple new ones but my HOA doesn't allow it. His dad takes care of her but isn't interested in getting more. So the only options are to...

Thank you. He has plans to move her in at night. I just want to make sure it's the right thing to do. And I hope the younger ones don't attack her or give her a heart attack.

Hi everyone, My (now adult) son has one hen left from his flock. She lives at his dad's house and has two acres to free range. She's lived by herself for about a year and a half. It doesn't seem to bother her but then again I don't live there and see her that often. She is about 7 years old and...

It has been 5 days now since my son's chickens were attacked. Sadly, one of them has since died. It was the one I described as having a chewed up rear end. I have two others I'm keeping in my garage and we are trying to nurse back to health. I'm starting to wonder if this is just cruel and...

I've moved the three chickens that are injured to my house and they are each in their own cage in my garage. I've added electrolyte tablets to their water. I sprayed Shreiners Herbal Solution onto their wounds and later gobbed on Neosporin. They don't appear to be eating or drinking so I'm...

The two badly injured chickens are together in a separate cage within the overall coop. They shouldn't bother each other should they? Keeping them warm shouldn't be a problem. We're having some pretty hot weather here in Ohio. If they make it through the night, maybe I will bring them to my...

I will do that and post an update tomorrow. I will try the local feed store. Thanks for taking time to respond. Weird how these kinds of things seem to happen on holidays.

Thanks, I will try that. The wounds seem kind of bad. The chickens that are injured have their mouths open. The vet said that is not pain but stress. Not so sure. How long should I keep them away from the rest of the flock? The other chickens were pecking at them as soon as they were back...

Hello everyone, I am a mother of a 4h'r that has been successfully raising egg laying chickens for a year and a half. I've helped him every step of the way from the beginning and have become very attached to these girls! He keeps them at his dad's house (which is a 2 acre farmstead in the...
