    How long can eggs stay in the coop during the summer?

    Hello everyone! So, I thought I had more time before the girls started laying. Turns out I was wrong. I looked in the coop yesterday and found 6 eggs. I don't know how long they have been in there, so I'm not sure whether they are good to eat or not. It has been anywhere from 80-90°F here in...

    Bobcat got a hold of my hen.

    The hen didn't make it. Not sure if there was something going on internally. But she got very lethargic and passed earlier this evening.

    Bobcat got a hold of my hen.

    Just an update. She has been drinking on her own since we elevated the waterer. And she seems to like the taste of the electrolytes. But she doesn't have much of an appetite. She drank a very little bit of blended cucumber and watermelon this morning. Isn't interested in doing much other than sleep.

    Bobcat got a hold of my hen.

    The skin is actually torn away. I have a dog crate for tonight. I did see the bobcat. It had the hen in it's mouth, then she got away. It started to come back for the hen until it saw me, then it ran off. Should she spend the night in the dog crate in the coop or in the garage?

    Bobcat got a hold of my hen.

    She seems alert, but is breathing heavy. Runs well and wants to be in the coop with the rest of the flock. I have bacitracin and guaze on hand. Will that do or is there something else I need? There is a tractor supply in town.

    Toenail injury

    Hello all, this is my first time posting at BYC. I noticed today that one of 7 week old wyandottes has a broken toenail. I cleaned it the best I could with a wet paper towel and put cornstarch on it. Is there anything else I need to do? Does she need to be seperated from the others? She seems to...
