Yesterday morning my hen was attacked by a hawk. By the time we got to her all we found was a pile of feathers and blood. The hawk came back and sat watching us. Today our hen came back and although she is eating and drinking fine, we noticed she has a huge hole in her left side under her wing...
My Rottweiler was attacking my hen when I came home, and he ripped off a huge chunk of her skin and ate it. You can slightly see a few of what I think are her organs? we were able to get him away from her and keep her alive for longer, she’s eating, drinking, and standing but she’s still in pain...

I have 5 GLW's all about 3 months old. Blanche, my biggest girl, has all of a sudden developed a hard time standing in one place for more than 30 seconds and kind of walks a little wobbly. My biggest concern is that she plops down every few minutes. I've been monitoring her all morning (noticed...

Asking this for a friend:
Can I get some insight on a chick? This little one just hatched and it's stomach is big and black. It also has a red lumpy piece of flesh connected to the umbilical cord. I don't remember seeing it on the other chicks. Is it any cause for alarm?
Last night one of my hens had gotten out and decided to roost in a tree for the night. When I let my dogs out they saw something rustling in the tree and went after it. Before I could get to her they had ripped her neck open pretty bad. She has a large opening and it looks like her crop is...
