    Chicken lost bottom beak

    Thank you! She broke her upper beak when she was younger and it grew back. Do you think the bottom will grow back?

    Chicken lost bottom beak

    A cat got into my chicken yard. One of my girls have broken off part of her bottom beak. I've brought her inside. She is still bleeding. She just drank some water. What should I do next?

    I don't know of any scares, but I was away for a few days so her routine was interupted..

    Funky egg!

    I thought I replied to you last night but I must have screwed something up. she is just over a year old. The color goes from darker at the fat end to lighter at the pointed end. I have a picture but it doesn't really do it justice. Yeah, the picture doesn't show it well. But it definitely...

    What gives with this egg?!?

    I just posted in another thread (funky egg I believe it was titled) that my BA has laid 3 eggs in the last week that fade from brown to white starting brown at the fat end. I wonder if something similar is happening to us? And my girls have drastically slowed production as well.

    Funky egg!

    This doesn't do it justice. It actually goes from brown to white with the pointy end being almost white.

    Dominant hen suddenly being pecked at

    There was blood. That was what first alerted me to the situation. Buffy, the dominant and biggest girl, was bleeding near her left wattle. I'm going to put the offender back today and see how it goes.

    Dominant hen suddenly being pecked at

    I just put her back and I think the Easter egger, the smallest one, is causing all the trouble. Buffy, the one I'm worried about, was genuinely afraid of her. What could be making the order change and how far should I let it go? I took the Easter egger out now and the other 2 seem ok so far...

    Dominant hen suddenly being pecked at

    They've never done this before. And they've definitely have never drawn blood.

    Dominant hen suddenly being pecked at

    I have a small flock of 3 hens in the city. They've been together from chicks and have always gotten along (they are just reaching a year old). I have an Easter egger, a black Austrolorp and the dominant, a buff Orpington. They have a very secure run and coop, and I don't usually lock them up in...

    Hens beak is broken

    It even looks like it's growing back in layers doesn' it?! I wonder if I should try to gently file it smooth when it fills in some more?

    To Heat or Not to Heat-That is the Question

    I was worried about frostbite to their combs and feet. Vaseline really works? Should I do their toes? Sorry if I sound ignorant! First chickens first winter!
