    Dog attack!

    Thanks -- she's in crate in the garage -- she tries to stand and her legs get stiff and she acts like shes walking and trying to get away but just falls forward and then to her side and she just lies there and can't position herself upright again. Of course I'm going out of town tomorrow and i...

    Ugh - one of my foster dogs slippped past me at the back door and got hold of one of my chickens - older about 4 years old Buff Orpington. There is a puncture wound on her back -broke the skin but there must be something else wrong. She can move her legs to itch her head but she cant stand or...

    OMG is this Avian TB????

    She has been in a seperate coop by herself for the past 6 months - it is right next to the other coop - my buff orpington started beign absolutely brutal to her and I had to seperate her so she could eat and sleep in peace. I have treated for lice/mites. Not worms although I do use Daily Hen...

    Are My Chickens Stupid Or Do They Know What Is Best?

    Sounds pretty secure, but we had a racoon "pull" our pullets through the fencing in our smaller pen. We had them seperated till they would be big enough to take the pecking order thing and make sure they were not sick too. Never can be to safe, im my opinion. Guess I feel that way because we...

    Quote: Thanks --Fortunatly thier run is a 8' x 8' dog pen with a secure top and chicken wire around the top and 2' out of each side -- we call the it the Poultry Pentagon because it is so secure. I thought about taking the dog house out -I'll have to wait until I have time to disassemble it.

    Anyone Have Advice For Securing Chickens During Hurricanes?

    Lucky for us we live in MD and don't have those dreaded fire ants I used to deal with in TX and Alabama. We actually aren't getting it near as bad as they said we would. I spent a large amount of my day yesterday waterproofing every nook and cranny in their coop - -and they are standing...
