    Injured hens laying multiple eggs in one day

    Hey all! I had my flock attacked by a coyote yesterday morning. 8 dead 😩, 2 wounded, 3 unscathed. I have the 2 wounded birds recuperating together away from the others. They’re both pretty beat up. Both have big gashes on their backs, both have had their tail feathers all pulled out, and one has...

    Coyote Attack

    First the damn hawks, now this. We have had the neverending rains here in east TN. Rear neighbor came by Fri to let us know there was a coyote near our coop at 2:30pm in the rain. Sat, our next door neighbor stopped me to say a coyote was attacking the coop. He heard my girls going nuts, went to...

    What dogs are Good with Chickens

    So I’m in the market for a dog that won’t eat my chickens, I’ve been looking at livestock protectors but they are pretty pricey when you get into the larger purebreds. I’ve been looking at mixes like Shollies and purebreds like Akbash but I don’t know what’s the right fit. The chickens have a...

    Is this moulting or a coyote attack?

    Feathers are all over yard. Small and fluffy. Chickens are missing and have been for days, right following a rainstorm after having been let out of the coup. Let me know your thoughts on the photo I’ve attached. Thanks. Devastated and could use the feedback.

    Help...pecking at wounds!

    I free-range my girls during the day & all has been good until yesterday when we had a brazen daylight raid by 5 coyotes. They killed & ran off with one hen & injured another before I could rescue her. They pulled out about 1/3 of the feathers on her back & left her with a few lacerations. I...

    Heartbroken after losing 75+ birds, 2 turkeys, & 10 ducks.

    My day wasn't started off on the right nor the left foot, more like on my knees. I woke to finding my coop slaughtered. Just completely slaughtered. A handful of my birds were still alive, around 5 or 6, I'd say. It was a massacre. The gore didn't bother me. The overwhelming feeling that I had...

    Coping with Coyote attack...

    I lost 3 of my 8 hens last night to a pack of coyotes, 2 Light Brahma and my Rhode Island Red. I grew up on a farm so not really new to this per say but our girls are more like family pets roaming (and pooping) the yard. So this hit pretty hard :(, especially that I went down to close the gate...

    Coyote Attack & Prolapsed Vent?

    One of my 6-month old silver wyandotte hens was grabbed by a coyote yesterday morning around 8 am. My dog and I gave chase immediately hoping that he would release her. My dog chased the coyote from our property and I continued to look for her in case the coyote dropped her but didn't find her...

    Coyote took off with one of my free range chickens

    I’ve always known there were coyotes out and about on my property. I can hear them yipping at night sometimes and have seen a few early morning. Yesterday, my husband and I were cleaning up after supper and looked outside and saw a head popped up in the pasture watching my free range chickens...

    Rooster rescued from a coyote, using Manuka honey

    A coyote grabbed our rooster. I'm vigilantly free ranging the chickens, but "vigilant" is a mixed bag, since a predator can grab and run in the blink of an eye, and within feet of where you're standing. So, I knew they were at risk. Our rooster is a lovely chap, a hired hand so to speak. He...
