Sometime during the day today my friend’s 3 year old white silke hen was killed by an animal of some sort :( Right now they have one hen (also white silkie) and since they don’t know exactly what happened they aren’t sure how to prevent this from happenning again.

This is my white leghorn hen who is a little over a year old. Her comb is usually slightly droopy because it really is massive, but seems more droopy than usual. On the tips her comb is a dark red, maybe almost purple? She was normal yesterday but now is lethargic and seems to be sleeping a lot...

Something isn't right with my White Leghorn rooster, he is not acting like normal. He is lethargic and his poop is basically yellow-tinted water with a bit of solid green stuff. Yesterday he ate 3 pieces of crumbled wet bread, today he didn't even eat half. How worried should I be? We have...
