One was an opposum, another was a raccoon, last one was hen on hen violence :/

That is so tough. I’m sorry for your losses. This is the first night for my Margaret and her adopted chicks to be out in the indoor coop. A little nerve-wracking to not hear peeping, but I checked in on her and she’s doing her job the best she can. The other hen got some snuggles and an...

Oh, I’ve totally lost track but here is my dear Margaret who adopted 5 chicks from the store. It’s her first night out of the tub in my bathroom with the chicks so I’m a little nervous! The rooster liked the baby chicks, and one of them had the spunk to peck him! I picked up the other bantam...

Thank you for the warm welcome! I’m at least glad I didn’t meet everyone before the incidents occurred, but it was sad to see that speckled booted bantam go...especially when I cleaned up 1/2 her wing and a claw where she tried to hide and was bleaching down the maggot situation. A lot of it...

Thank you so much! She doesn’t quite get while I’m so into the chickens, but it’s kept me sane out here as I go through her paperwork and do other farm chores/chores where she has to stand...sometimes I’ll find some time to clean, but haven’t found time to organize yet.

I’ll get to fixing the coop because of that damn raccoon he wasn’t able to trap (damn thing ran off with a golf ball from a trap!). Then I have some other stuff to take care of and the house to organize. But the chickens/animals are so therapeutic for me!

It was truly just trial by fire. I’ve fallen out of the coop twice. But for some reason animals find me somewhat calming (or they listen to me like when they need to get in the coop), though half of all of that is consistency. I’m wondering if I should clean down the coop for my relative...she...

We have an area with an insane amount of possums and raccoons, but it was shocking! It looks like I’ll be up here for a little longer than expected, but I very much enjoy the freedom to do my own projects or learn new things I couldn’t do in the city! also, thank you for the well wishes!

I cried so much - it was actually a 3 day span of deaths where 4 were taken out - when the first one died. She was a precious booted, speckled bantam. That’s when I started my research. Okay, examine the coop. I rearranged the materials in the coop and tossed porous clay that fostered maggot...

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? Totally new to chickens...been raising them and doing coop work for about a month. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? More than half the flock was killed when I had arrived at the farm the first day :( (3) What breeds do...
