    Help tumor? 6 wk old female B. O.

    I was checking my 6 week old chicks and noticed that one of the buff orphingtons has a large ping pong ball sized growth under the skin. It is on the right side of her body on the outer breast near the joint of her wing. It feels firm to the touch and there is no inflammation on the surface...

    Bear!

    Thought of putting electrodes in an apricot or peach(so won't attract the dogs/cats in area). Hope no bears hang out at your house anymore. Keep up on the electric fence, you might eventually teach him if he even gets a hankering for chicken. Our 2 year old bear broke into the neighbors house...

Just because they haven't...

    Started keeping chickens after my twins hatched some at preschool. They were going to take them to the raptor/rehab center for eagle food, girls had hand reared them and had bonded with them.....so we ended up bringing them home. Have loved having them. This year a 2 year old bear ripped...

    Bear!

    Your bear will definitely be back, once they find a source of food (chickens or grain) they remember it. If you can, net the top of your coop (keep chickens in) and turn on that electric fence. I lost my whole flock to a black bear and was devastated. It took the bear 3 days to figure out how...
