    That didn't take long. He found her and she didn't survive the storm.

    You are lucky to have a good vet like that. I had found one like that for my dogs but he doesn't do chickens at all also I have to travel to Lancaster if I need anything for my chickens. I think you are right about having the male dogs around and I believe that is why predators don't come too...

    I know she probably did and I feel horrible I didn't get back out sooner. I have my coop as a converted stall in the barn and most of mine free range. I have been very fortunate to not have predators around and have never lost any at all free ranging. I do have a "silkie playpen" for the more...

    I am glad things are going in the right direction. Yes, the vitamins are fine to give for treatment if she seems weak. The ACV will help control the yeast growing in the crop and the yogurt helps with getting the good bacteria in her digestive tract. If she is weak, do you have the vitamins that...

    Here is what had worked for me. Keep this one separate from the others. Withhold any food for 24 hours but do give water with apple cider vinegar. During the initial 24 hours it is very important ot only give the water with the ACV in it. Also, massage the crop to try to break things up in...
