    Your base of knowledge on these matters astounds me. It is clear that you bring to the community diverse knowledge as well as much experience.

    Just curious, why is it that you think they attack the injured or weak? I am trying to understand the logic of this from an evolutionary standpoint. Do you know? For example, I assumed that since both my hens were injured and vulnerable that they could perch together without drama. It took...

    I had a dumb one once, so I know exactly what you mean. Very pretty, but not smart at all. This one was smart enough to both UNLOCK and open the back door while we were out. It was a premeditated act of revenge for leaving him behind for 2 hours, he was efficient and knew exactly what he was...

    Yup, that sounds right to me too. I think they are about due to moult soon anyhow, so maybe the timing will be good. I do fear that there are patches where no feathers will ever grow back, but I guess we will just wait and see. Thank you for your wisdom and help. As an addendum, our overly...

    4 day update I just wanted to give you all an update. After I last wrote on Sunday, my son found the rooster and the other 2 hens. (we have 3 hens and one rooster and they range freely by day, weather permitting.) One rooster and one hen went unscathed, but he found our white hen hiding under...

    Very good idea. I have none here but will shop for some soon. The good news is that she is eating. I put a slice of bread in front of her and she pecked at it, so i tore off slices and soaked it in the asprin water. She almost gobbled up every wet piece. I then returned with some nuts and...

    I agree with you. I had also made up my mind to do this, but as I was walking out of the house with her she started flapping her wings a little and became animated. The will to live is strong. I brought her back to the deep sink and wrapped her up. I am no farmer, hunter or butcher, so this is...

    Skin is torn off and there is a part that looks like chicken breast from the supermarket. It's totally exposed. When I decided to take her to the neighbor to kill, she started to flap her wings to escape as I was walking out the door, so I brought her back in and put her in the sink again. I...

    Our one year old poodle unlocked the back door while we were out and attacked one of our chickens. I guess he was trying to play because he didn't actually kill her. The neighbors called us and we quickly came home. We found the dog sitting by the front door and our hen in the driveway. Our...
