    Animal Attack/Hen Injury

    Thank you all for your kind words. I am feeling much better now. I am realizing how much time I spent caring for her and now have that time to work on the coop, socialize my younger chicks (EE straight run) and get ready for winter. Not to mention I am able to do more research and reading on...

    Animal Attack/Hen Injury

    Final update: We had a bad week last week as we experienced flystrike on her butt. Ewwww, but pretty easy to 'fix' once we figured out what we were dealing with. . . We also think there were some lice, so she also got dusted with DE. In an attempt to keep poop off her feathers, in addition...

    Bear Attack Chicken laying funny colored eggs since attack.

    We had a rooster wander around dazed for 2-3 days after losing most of our flock to an animal attack (dog?). Not sure about the egg color change though.

    chicken tent?

    Did you look at the Chicken Tractor section under Coops? There are also Hoop style coops there and in the other sections. Not sure if you can get the feedlot panels there, but the hoop style works well for us as runs. Predators and weather here - require a sturdier/more protected coop. :-)...

For $20 less than my other vet visit, they kept her from Tuesday until Friday and gave her daily steroid shots to help with inflammation. He believes the damage to be...

    Can I give both the probiotic and the electrolyte/vitamin (both Sav-A-Chick) in the water? Any reason not to do so?

    Animal Attack/Hen Injury

    Update: Little Red Hen was improving and then Sunday night and all of Monday she seemed to slide back a bit. She slept a lot more and was not as alert when she was awake. Her eyes were never wide open and weren't as bright. Even though she has been eating, it isn't enough, as she is also very...

    Animal Attack/Hen Injury

    UPDATE: Since she was doing better today. we did inspect her body more closely for any wounds and found matted blood near the base of one of the feathers on her neck. Several feathers were stuck there, including some snapped off ones from nearby area. She also appears to have bruising (or...

    Animal Attack/Hen Injury

    Between 3 and 4 AM Wednesday morning (about 41 hours ago) we were woken by our cats running across the roof repeatedly and then our dog barking. We heard a small chicken noise outside our window and went outside to investigate. Something had gotten through our chicken wire and into the coop...
