My husband and I will give our rooster a closer inspection today. He was at work last night, and I struggled to check him out alone. What vitamins do you give? I appreciate your advice.
We did not report it. Our neighbors are also our friends so it’s very awkward. This is the third time...
My neighbor’s dog attacked my chickens. This time none were killed. My rooster, I think, jumped in to protect the hens and lost all of his tail feathers in the fight. There was a lot of painful squawking. Do I need to be treating the area? I don’t see any blood but the area seems to be pretty...
