    Post-Predator (Dog?) Attack: Mute Chicken Survivor

    I regret to say that I attended a wedding last weekend and came back around 11pm to close my free-ranging chickens in their coop. I was horrified to come home and find: first, what I perceived to be a skunk slither out of one of the nesting boxes; second, several chicken corpses within a 20-ft...

    Help, how to reintroduce one chicken to remaining “flock” of one after injury?

    Last Friday I returned home to a decimated flock. 7 Hens at 11mos old, 6 of whom were gone, only a few feathers here and there. One was healthy, as when the attack happened she was in the coop, laying. As I called for them one other lone survivor hobbled out of the woods. She was injured in...

    Lingering half closed eye (one side only)

    My flock got decimated a few weeks back (60 days-ish) by what I suspect was a racoon. I lost 21 birds and had 2 healthy ones and 3 in shock birds left. I brought back all 3 in shock birds but one of them still has an eye that is half shut. It's opened up about 50% since the attack so she is...

    ‘Leading’ rooster died, everyone is out of control

    My ‘leading’ rooster attacked a four year old boy while trying to get his sister, Aphrodite, back to the flock. His parents were furious and pretty much forced me to kill him. He was an amazing rooster who kept everything going good, other than him being overprotective of his chickens. I thought...

    Two cockerels attacking each other. Covered in blood and mud. Missing feathers.

    These guys grew up together. They have together survived 2 fox attacks. They have been fighting each other for a while. They are half soaked and covered in mud, which makes me think they fell into the dam? They have this mad look in their eyes, and they had blood all over them. They were both...
