    Thanks. Hopefully they show up. They didn’t make it back last night. Traps will be going out for the fox.

    Also, this is my first time dealing with a fox. Have dealt with raccoons in the past and they make a pretty big mess

    Fox attack, missing chickens

    Had a confirmed fox attack this afternoon (my neighbor saw it carrying away one of my birds). My question is how many chickens will they haul off? I saw feathers in a couple of different spots from a couple of my chickens but all 12 of my 3 month olds are missing. They were out free ranging and...

    3 welsummers having trouble walking

    Update. I have been giving the hens vitamin b complex drops from GNC. Two of the chickens seem to be improving. They are walking around more and seem less awkward when walking than they were.

    3 welsummers having trouble walking

    The hens will walk for some distance. I found out yesterday when I started the mower. They got up and took off but they walk awkwardly almost like an infant that just started to walk. I also noticed they don’t seem to spread their toes out a lot.

When she walks she’s unsteady and walks on her tip toes almost crossing one leg over the other. I’ll look for a vet in my area. I’ll try to find some...

    3 welsummers having trouble walking

    I have 3 of my 4 welsummers (about 20 weeks old) that are now not wanting to walk. The use their wings for support and shuffle. It started with one about 2 weeks ago, then last week another and today a third. Each time I find them they are being pecked on by some of the other chickens. They have...

    2 month old Easter egger. Do I have a rooster?

    Thanks. Definitely a rooster he started crowing in the morning. He's about 11 weeks old now we brought him and his sisters home on March 6th as couple day old chicks. We decided to hang on to him as well.
