    Integrating different aged chicks

    I have the same issue. My chicks hatched in the "bush" on the property, and were fine. I didn't even know there were any eggs. What a surprise. My hen hatched 12 chicks. After 2 weeks she was taken. Maybe a fox? I have 7 of the chicks and keep them in my backyard atm. When should I let them out...

    My chicks hatched in the "bush" on the property, and were fine. My hen hatched 12 chicks. After 2 weeks she was taken. Maybe a fox? I have 7 of the chicks and keep them in my backyard atm. When should I let them out into the bush with the rest of the flock? They are nearly 10 weeks old now...

    Dog attack has left my rooster with a bald back and no tail feathers.

    Thanks for the reply. I never had anything like that so I gave him the left over painkiller from the vet for the cat. I sprayed some Elastoplast Wound Spray on his back. I treated him for shock with electrolyte water which I fed via a dropper. He came good on the second day and is now doing...

    rooster injured by dog attack

    How sad for you. I love all by feathered babies. My rooster is going through a hard time too, after last night's dog attack. I gave him 2ml of Moxicam for pain that I had over from my cat. He's not eating or drinking but got up and walked over with some encouragement from me, to some shade. I...

    Dog attack has left my rooster with a bald back and no tail feathers.

    No blood, no puncture wounds, etc. I just need to know what pain relief to give. I am about to buy and apply iodine to treat the bald spots for any infection that may be present.

    Dog attack has left my rooster with a bald back and no tail feathers.

    Yes I had him on my lap for 10 minutes or so. I was really upset and cuddled him. He really responded well to that. I want to give him a pain killer for the weeping holes where his feathers once were. 😔 In the morning I need to ring and ask the vet what to do. I won't sleep tonight.

    Dog attack has left my rooster with a bald back and no tail feathers.

    My daughter thought he had been killed but I saw him breathing. I scooped him up and took him into the back verandah area. He was able to walk after 10 minutes of soothing him. He has skin which isn't bloodied but looks really sore. All his feathers on his back as well as his tail feathers have...

    Rat Problem

    First Cull, Didn't go so well

    You poor thing. How traumatic! I won't ever kill anything. I let God do that. I nursed a very sick hen and she lasted an extra 4 months with my intensive care. One day I went out and she was gone on; her own terms. She was very happy and pain free those 4 months. Even the vet was in awe of that...
