2 huskies broke into my chicken run with my 4 hens while i was having my family take care of them- The whole dog attack was less than 3 minutes overall, but had some pretty devasting effects. One of my hens was killed, the other two are still missing and one got badly injured. This was maybe 2/3...

I noticed something off about one of my hens this morning when she was super hesitant to go out of the coop. Eventually she did go out after 4 minutes of just standing there and staring, and ate and drank and did her mostly normal morning routine. One of my other hens was being super aggressive...

My only Faverolles suddenly died 2 nights ago. She was already stiff and in the corner of the coop when I found her that evening. I checked her over and could find nothing wrong and she had been acting fine that morning, Her comb was normal, no mites, no symptoms. They had food and water but...

My Golden Comet started acting lethargic a day ago, but it really worried me this morning when she didn't race out of the coop with the others. after a bit I picked her up, she did not struggle at all. I tried to get her to eat and drink but nothing really worked, I got maybe a single mealworm...

Worried about a new layer, she started laying about 2+ weeks ago and her breed (Golden Comet) is known for egg laying problems unfortunately so I want to make sure she's not egg bound. She's been going back and forth between the nesting boxes and run, she hasn't tried to actually lay yet. She's...

Both of my Golden comet's faces are starting to get red. (Golden Comet's also go by the name of Cinnamon Queen, Gold Star, and Red Sex Link to name a few.) They're both very friendly, although one (Her Name is Daffodil) Is significantly bigger than the other. She has the redder face, her face is...

Hey! I'm wondering if one of my 6 week old chicks might be a hen. She is a golden comet, and twice the size of her sibling although her sibling may just be small. They also have another pullet friend, who is 12 1/2 weeks old. I have a picture of the chick,(2) a picture of the pullet,(3) and then...

One of my hens can be quite loud, almost a crow. She'll do this when shes been sitting in the nest box, after shes laid an egg, or whenever. I live in a suburban neighboorhood, so the loud egg song or crowing is a problem. Im wondering if a Rooster Collar would work to make her songs and crows...

I had a 10 week old Faverolle pullet go missing around 15 hours ago. I've looked and looked, but haven't been able to find her. She went missing at dusk, it is now almost noon. I have woods very close to me, and they go on for miles. She had been in the coop and run for about 5 weeks now. She's...

One of my 1 year old chickens suddenly started to fall asleep randomly a few days ago. She has not been laying or foraging much, either. She has always been smaller and lighter as the others but just as healthy. I use Pine shavings as bedding for them and I cleaned the coop recently. The entire...

Hello, I'm Wondering about the signs for egg-laying. I know its mostly squatting, red-faced, and hanging around the nesting boxes but I haven't been able to tell for any except the hanging around the nesting boxes. My EE has been doing that lately. I Have a picture of my EE, but I can't...

Hello! I had a recent attack on my very small flock of three, and I suspect a raccoon. Two were killed, the other seemed generally unhurt. This was a week or two ago and I Plan on introducing two members soon. I'm worried about how to go about introducing them and I'm also worried that since I'm...

Hello! I Got Three 3 Month Old Easter Egger Pullets Two weeks ago, and they tend to fly at each other. They Don't seem to Peck much at each other, though. I Couldn't Find anything about this so I was wondering rather this is normal, as I have heard they are a flighty breed, Or if they are...
