    Help! Chicken attacked by dog. Impacted crop?

    I understand your thoughts on her being alone... sometimes I feel that the stress of being alone is something to think about. When I have had injured chickens in the past (that have healed) I have also brought in visitors for them for company. I think it's a good idea especially if she has no...

    Thanks for answering! Two head chickens are RIR and i have 2 mixed silkies that are broody often. Just now I was getting the girls in the run with oatmeal and the babies ran into the coop to hide. They will even skip snack!

    You will fall in love with your chickens! But, If you spoil them they will beg! And how can we not spoil them? ha! Mine are about two years and I have a song that I too imitated from their "talk" and they come running every time I sing it! So be silly and talk the chicken way! : ) Happy day to you

    26 deg tonight have to leave coop open... ok?

    I'm going overnight and it's going to be 24-26 degrees. I usually close the coop door and open in the morning at daybreak. The coop is inclosed in a predator proof run. Is it too cold to leave the door open?

    how long to nurse a sick chicken b4 deciding to put down?

    I just don't know how long to try and nurse her back... My chicken had worms and mites... treated 2 weeks ago for the worms just found the mites a few days ago... hand feeding her as she's too weak to walk- how long do you think it will take her to regain her strength?
