So just examined her again and….I can’t find it. So yesterday is almost looked like her skin got stretched but didn’t detach if that makes sense. Almost like how stretch marks work. But I just looked for like 15 minutes for this area and I can’t find it. I wonder if it healed back up that...

She seems to be doing pretty well today. Still have her inside. I am going to try and get better photos posted today. There is not blood on her neck or around the wound which I’m just baffled by. And her eye as well. I got droppers today so I can put a saline mix in to at least clean off her...

I live in a very rural town and there is no small farm animal Vet around that I am aware of. Today while I let me girls free roam, a falcon or hawk attacked some of the ladies. I heard the commotion and was able to get outside quick and saw it fly off. It was a very large bird. And the small...

Also if anyone has advice or suggestions on game cams, we would appreciate it! We live off the grid with pretty minimal solar power.

Thank you! Yeah that photo was taken right after the rooster came home. We actually lined our run with hog panels and then lined the hog panels with the hardware cloth. And then did a perimeter of electric fencing (all advised by warden) so we are hopeful! And our coop is very difficult to get...

Awesome thanks so much!!! I kind of had this feeling that he may be okay with them because we had a couple bantams and he didn’t bother her at all. Amazing creatures huh? Thankfully the folks whom we are getting the chickens from have a friend who is interested in him for her flock so we have...

Hello chicken world Recently, my flock of 13 hens fell victim to a bear (or 2 we are still figuring that out) which has been a difficult time for me. Middle of the day, window of max 2 hours left alone in their run. When we thought everyone was gone, including Tina the rooster…just an hour...

okay, a good friend of mine is a vet tech. So I’ll check and see if that’s something they can do. I mainly just want to rule out everything and I just kept reading that worms can cause a lot of issues. And we recently treated our dog for worms who loves to eat the chicken poop, and our vet...

Thank you so so much. We just had to go through dewormer for our dog, we assumed he got it from eating all the chicken poop. Loves those little nuggets. I work on a horse farm and they use safeguard so I have that pretty readily available. This is probably a dumb question, but is it harmful if...

awesome, thank you so much.

well I only found out Friday about the potential of worms in the flock so I’ve just been doing research on the different kinds and the best kind. I’d like to deworm the flock, since my dog loves to eat their poop.

she’s almost 3 years old. Unfortunately I am not totally sure the last time that she laid an egg. I do know they have worms and was thinking of getting some sort of dewormer if they are worth it.

I have hen who I thought was egg bound, and brought her in to care for her. It’s been about 6 days and she is eating and drinking again just fine, pooping just fine. But is still doing the penguin walk. She seems not quite strong enough to stay out with the other chickens, although we have...

He’s definitely gotten his practice in and has turned into a gentle giant with the girls. I haven’t notice any harm in the last couple weeks. Thank god!

thank you so much! My heart wants to keep him because he has been quite gentle and allows us to pick him up and such. It’s just hard to see the separation in the flock with my older girls. It’s like high school, but for chickens. Or maybe more like middle school! Thank you for the reassurance!

thank you! I had a feeling it was the initial raging hormones phase. New territory for me but thank you for the advice and talking me through it!!

missed out on a thanksgiving meal I guess! I know it’s my decision, I just wasn’t sure if there was any advice or thoughts on why he seems to pick on this one hen and if there are things we can do to detour him from doing it to bring peace back to the flock. May come to a point where he becomes...

well, I think it’s what happens when they are breeding but he seems to be quite aggressive about it. And has clawed out one of the girls feathers on her back. I’ll definitely try to post video or some photos of Nuggets back. It’s my first time having a rooster, so I’m still learning. He seems to...

Hi there everyone. I have 5 girls left in my old gal flock, they’re all about 3-4 years old. July we got a new round and we’re surprised to have a rooster. He’s been great and not showing much aggression but I’m assuming his “puberty” is hitting him. He’s fairly nice to the hens he was raised...

I have been successful with getting her to “vomit” but I’m not sure how many times I’m supposed to do that. And the stuff coming out of her mouth is more like a brown water than a mucus texture.
