    Missing hens. Please help! Tulsa/Broken Arrow area

    Tulsa/Broken Arrow area near 71st and Garnett. 3 red hens believed to be Americonos or something similar. Cloud, Red, and Spot. My girls desperately miss them. They may have hopped into trees as they can flutter quite high. They don't like being picked up but aren't really afraid of people...

    The Case of the Disappearing Duck

    Our ducks live a 7 minute walk away, in a pond in the woods near our house. We feed them often to keep them loyal, but know that, in the summer at least, they are fairly self sufficient. We have three females- a Cayuga, a Khaki Campbell, and a Pekin. We love them to death as they are somewhat...

    How to catch a chick!

    OK, one of my 3 week old dominiques escaped and spent the night hiding in the shop where I am keeping the brooder. I left a bit of the lamp shining outside of the brooder and left a box, water, feed, and those white clover flowers the dominiques seem to love so much. Ideas? Open the door in...

    A Happy Ending to a Lost Hen Story

    Hi everyone! I wanted to share what I think is truly a miracle. My Rhode Island Red, Daisy, went missing six days ago. We were all at work, and when everyone came home there were only the other two hens and three giant piles of feathers. We were devasted. We were convinced a fox had eaten her...

    Missing flock!!! Help please

    We were away from 10days, but had our neighbors tending our flock-who own 15 chickens of their own, and have for 5yrs. They called us while away and said it looked like there were some feathers in the grass, but no flesh/body/blood. There was one chicken, out of our 8, on the roof of my car...

    Help, lost two chickens

    I was watching three of my aunt's hens. They really aren't familiar with me. Also, they are contained in a small area probably because predators have been spotted in the area. They are let out every now and then, but always return when clapping or whistling. I went to go feed them and two of...

    Newbie Alert, Texas!

    I am so new to chickens, I haven't even gotten my chicks yet! Looking forward to getting started, probably with Ameracaunas and/or easter eggers. My concerns are the Texas weather and predators, currently perusing the threads... I found out about BYC while I was cruising for tractor designs, as...

    Spooked Guinea

    hi! I posted this on the chicken thread but someone told me I’d have better luck here! Duh. Anyways, I have this guinea, Fredrick. He’s pretty dumb. He hates everyone else and he went through a testy stage when he was younger, attacking me all the time. We made him wear a sailor costume for a...

    Missing Guinea

    hey, y’all. Today we had a dog invasion; fortunately, the dogs were friendly and well trained, and aside from the little one getting in a coop and giving the hens a fright, nothing really happened, we just grabbed them and gave them some water while we tried to get their owner. The problem...

    I think my chickens might have been eaten

    So my chickens frequently hop the fence and roam the hill right next to my house. I bring them in every time I can but sometimes I don't see them. They always come back, though. Today, however, I saw a coyote and wanted to make sure my chickens were ok. Two of them were missing. I looked...

    My Muscovy Disappeared!! HELP!!

    So, today, we were going about our daily business, as you do, when we noticed one of our Muscovy Ducks, Elvis (my favorite) was gone. Our first thought was coyotes, as we've had many birds lost to them, but after checking everywhere for about 10 minutes, we came up with nothing, no blood...
