    I guess my ladies turned on each other today; the kids and I walked to a park, and while i was changing i noticed our Tiny bird was limping. She was a damaged rear, looks like a hernia. And funny thing is, I just spoke to my husband about using mirrors in the yard where they like to take dust...

    And a quick sliding door at the top, 4x6 size, with hardware cloth behind it for vents would help your hens out too!

    Raccoon attacked my flock; one Hen has organs exposed, but breathing

    Thanks! I like to think i kept her comfortable all the way to the end, keeping her warm and hugging her as she died. Telling her it was ok to go, i'll take care of the rest of the flock and that we'd miss her. She was a good hen all the way to the end. RIP Art the chickadoo.

    I have an injured chicken; she has main injury on her side by her right leg, organs are exposed! I have her inside, warm, cleaned up with bag balm ointment applied to light injuries, but I am not sure about the organs exposed. She is such a trooper, not even from my orginal flock; i adopted her...
