Thank you everyone for the great advice. She has been back out with her besties for two weeks. Her toe healed, never became infected, the torn part fell off and she is back to living her best life!!! Feels so great when I can save one.
Another idea is let them free range most the day and give them food in a spot you can clean up any spills at the end of the day. I am trying this now also.
I have had the lil bastahds dig way down under my hardware cloth. I saw one trying to breed with another last evening. Now I will be ripping the entire sided off hardware clothe out and leaving that part wide open and covering under the coop (which I build raised so they had an extra extra...
I think she did get it caught in mesh. I wrapped it last night but I will take the bandage off and keep spraying it and putting ointment on it and keep her separated. She doesn’t want to stand on it but that may be die to the wrap.
They will grab a chicken. They can’t fly high and so they may eat it right there. Easy pray is an easy meal. They have come after mine. U have to have a lot of obstacles for them not to be able to easily land or take flight. I don’t leave mine out uncovered unless I am out side. You can...

Mine never fully cured. I think hers is more neurological. I am doing rehabilitation. She was almost killed by two hens. After she healed is when it started. Supplements didn’t help. She is a happy lil bird though. But can’t figure out how to walk up or down the coop ramp. When she gets...
I am crying as well, I am so sorry, this is messed up on so many Levels. I want to give you a hug. I don’t like the world we are in. I am so very sorry. Se ding hugs to you and your babies. This sounds incredibly horrible, heartbreaking and traumatizing. I will send prayers to you To get...
I have 6 new baby chicks and needed to name them. I have pretty names for my first ones, created mostly using their breed. But now I am getting silly. These are the names I con”cock”ted with some help from my friend and brother. I’m sure you’ll get the theme.
