    Bloody egg and bloody vent feathers.....!!!!!!!

    OK, I went down last night, washed her off and saw no new blood. Her vent didnt look bloody, not too sure what it should look like normally but it was pinkish white color. Not protruding. She looks good. Heres hoping it was a freak thing. Thanks everyone for the help! I appreciate it!

    Bloody egg and bloody vent feathers.....!!!!!!!

    OK, Thanks. I have seen a bit of blood on a few eggs before but not like this and I have never seen it in vent feathers before. Makes me nervous.

    Something got in but luckily didnt kill anything....yet

    The run is double wrapped with chicken wire and there is a barrier off the 3/8" plywood we just set into the ground. Hardware cloth is coming soon as is a solid roof before next winter. Its a work in progress. :) Thanks everyone.

    Something got in but luckily didnt kill anything....yet

    If my girls were in the coop, why did it bother breaking into the run with no food or anything there? Just because it wanted to?

    Something got in but luckily didnt kill anything....yet

    This is either claw marks or teeth marks, I dont know. There was a pretty good sized hole under the door as well. Thankfully, the girls were put away for the night. Otherwise this may have been a different post. We added 3/8" plywood 18" down into the ground today. I hope this helps...

    Feed and Water in the Coop??

    I keep food and water in the coop and water outside in the run as well. I keep the food inside just to lessen the chances of other critters getting into it as I dont want to move it at the end of each day. :)

    Trying to hang cabbage....someone help! LOL

    DH ended up hollowing out the center with a knife and we used a huge zip tie and some rope to hang it. Worked great! They were scared of it at first but thats ok with me, the more scared they were of it, the less pecking they gave to each other!

    Can my chickens eat hubbard squash?

    I know that they can eat pumpkins and such but can they eat this type of squash? I bought a huge one at the store the other day and was hoping they could. I am also hoping it distracts them enough to stop pecking each other! LOL Thank you!

    So apparently golf balls are just too cold

    I have 3 nesting boxes. 1 has a plastic golf ball in it and the other 2 have ceramic eggs in them. Everyday they lay an egg where the golf ball is. Have yet to see an egg in the other nest boxes. Crazy chickens!
