Right, I’ve had a raccoon chew the head off of a chicken... just before sunrise I think. Raccoons are usually nocturnal...But it’s hard to say. Def not a hawk or owl because it would have carried it away.

Right! I didn’t expect for them to be that far along! I’ve seen my hen everyday and didn’t think anything of it. I guess we get chicks in January!

Howdy! So, I noticed one of my free range hens setting on some eggs a few days ago... I went out there to candle them just now and picked up TWO that were pipping! I put them back under the hen but now I’m concerned that they won’t be in the right position to hatch! Should I be too concerned?

Motion sprinkler... motion detection sprinkler! It will keep everything out of your yard. And it will be fun to watch it spray the birds away.

This may be too late, but I found the most humane way would be to take him off the roost at night, wrap him in a towel, take him around the corner, and shoot him the head with a hand held pellet or BB gun. . Lights out instantly, no stress.

Yup. Thank you

I’m thinking abut 2.5 months. He’s not very big.

I just need confirmation... she looks and acts like a he. Raping the other pullets... battling my other suspected cockerel... very active. Runs the perimeter of the flock.... she’s supposed to be an Olive Egger Pullet.

It’s kind of like when I had my children... I read many books... But I’m excited and terrified! Haha 😂

Perfect!

Well, at least we know that you can majorly overdose your hens and they will be fine haha

Thank you! I spent my entire day today with one chick or another on my lap, making sure they each drank a whole syringe of (properly) treated water, ate some feed, and pooped so I could monitor.

Thank you. That makes me feel a little better. I’m just worried about my girls! I know there’s no way anyone can tell me that they will be just fine, but I wish they would.

I just got some new chickens! Yay! Four of my 7or 8 wk old pullets out of a 14 bird flock have coccidiosis. Not yay! One light Brahma, one sapphire gem, one speckled Sussex and one buff Orpington. They are puffed up, bloody stools, not very active or alert, standing still, droopy wings...
