Ok so a friend of mine called me the other day asking if I wanted another rooster (I had one before but my neighbors dog killed it) so I said yes and she told me that her neighbor was moving and had to get rid of their chickens. I brought him home and everything was good until my hens got mad...
I'm not really sure what happened cause I wasn't over there. I was gone for about half an hour and when I came back that's what I found. I took her out of the pen and brought her back inside. She seems to be doing better. She has gotten up and moved a little, she has drank some water, and she is...
Today I let out my chicks and ducklings (6 chicks and 2 ducks). When I came out a little later one of the ducklings was laying on it's side. She wasn't moving much and was covered withmud on the down side and there was dirt all over her bill. I picked her up and she didn't move around much, just...

My 4 month old hen, Boo, got out of her pen today and about 45 minutes ago she was attacked by 3 dogs. I thought for sure she was dead but she was still breathing. She was laying very still with her eyes closed but she was taking normal breaths. I wasn't sure what I should do so I wrapped her in...
My flock has expanded in a weird and unplanned way... I started with 3 hens and a rooster but then my grandmas dog killed a hen and my rooster right after I hatched 2 eggs (i kept one of the babies). The chick is about 5 months old and had been kept away from my 2 hens (we keep the 2 hens at my...

We are about to expand the flock size to incase I forgot that part. They are in the brooder now, I know they will be young but that the best I can do, I was told not to bring in outside birds to an established flock so I got Rocky (the Cochin) when he was only 2 weeks old
Baby realy isn't the right word because he isn't a baby anymore. I have a Cochin that is about 4 months old now and I need to find a way to introduce him to my flock. The only problem is that they are really mean to him when he goes into the coop, I can let them forage together and they are fine...
