Last Friday then again on Monday something dug under the wood barrier surrounding the chicken pen and coop and tore up a Bantam and a good size chicken. We are going to do repairs,set a trap and use our game camera to get the culprit. My question is: How do you make the chickens feel safe to...

I just went out to get eggs and my very large Black Sex-Link was sitting and won't or can't stand up. I tried to help her and she just puts out a wing and lays back down. What can it be?? She doesn't seem to have any boken legs, because I checked. Has anyone got any suggestions??

Now I have a question about, you guessed it Rain. I don't understand why my girls won't go inside during a thunderstorm. They will stand or lie under one of their bushes and not move. I have put on my rain gear and put them in their coop, just to turn around and watch them marching right back...
