Hi everyone. I have had chickens for about 3 years now and other then predators we have done well. Everything is clean and the same. I have 8 chickens and a turkey. One of my Rhode Island Reds who is about 18 months old started to lose her feathers as if she was molting. I figured that's...

Thank you very much for your reply. I started her on the antibiotic today. I hope she pulls out of this. She's a great, friendly, chicken and lays the biggest eggs!

Thanks for the help. I will try the eggs, the softer smaller bites makes sense. She has started walking around now. We have talked about putting her down, because we don't want her to suffer, but we don't want to do that too soon, if theres a chance she could come through this. Unfortunately...

Our coop was attacked by a group of raccoons 3 days ago (my fault). One lost a lot of feathers and was dragged about 300 feet down semi rough terrain. We found her and got rid of the raccoon. The Hen was still alive, we got her back to the coop and she seems to have flesh wounds that are not too...
