    Wanting Cochin Bantam to go broody

    So none of the eggs were fertile. Probably for the best. But this morning I walked out to the sound of my younger non-laying cochin "screaming." I watched it for a while.. ... pretty sure its a cockrel. :eek:

    What predator would pile up dead chickens?

    Whether we want to call it fun or practice or whatever--animals will absolutely kill other animals with no intention of consuming them. Wild and domesticated. More common with domesticated though.

    New chick with "dead" damaged toe. Need advice!

    The buff orp pullet i picked out last year had a self amputated toe. She was a great chicken. She ended up with metastatic cancer and died though. I agree with the other posters. Chicken will be ok on its own.

    Kid lost his first chicken to a fox

    I am hoping to find some parenting type advice. My 9 year old son just lost his pet chicken to a fox this morning. He had left the gate open to the pen last night and no one noticed. The ladies went on a freerange and a fox we have known about nabbed her outside the pen. My kids are...
