On or about Today Afternoon, on the main Street in MonticellO, New-york, an older modell SUV and person, with a medium size Decale reading "CRAZY CHICKEN LADY" with flank hens (red sex links most likely). Who ever knows them and asks them to get in touch, will get a REWARD, not figured out yet...
We have an automatic door for the coop. I only had 7 to begin with as were just starting out. They are 18 weeks old today. I had my original 3 cockerels and 4 hens. We were letting nature do it’s thing and let the head honcho choose his victims instead of picking them off ourselves...
I own 8 call ducks, ive raised them all by hand and I love them more than anything. When I went away on holiday I put my father in charge and told him to not let my broody call duck out whilst I was gone for 2 days. She is amazing at "hide and seek" and its rare to find her once shes found a...
I have four backyard Easter Egger hens that are now just under a year old (hatched last April). No roosters. I just noticed this week that two of the hens are missing some feathers on the underside of their neck, just under their head. And one chicken is missing a large patch of feathers...
I saw this article on the news site & figured it was worth a shot to post it here.
I don't live in AZ, but thought the owner might be a BYC member & would recognize their bird.

This is my first time posting in here so I apologize if this happens to be in the wrong section.
So yesterday my mother found a white chicken outside our yard with a deep wound below one of her wings, so deep she had one of her organs exposed which after some research around i figured it would...
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...
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...
So we’ve lost two hens the past two days, and I’m certain it’s a predator and not heat stroke because hen number two is literally nowhere to be found. Three tiny white feathers on the opposite side of the fence.
I’m assuming it’s a fox, simply because the last possum we had around here (that I...
Our pretty girl, Lucy, a very happy RIR has gone missing. Her sister is still here. I feel pretty certain she is brooding somewhere. She did it once before, but, right by the house under a bush, so I was able to find her. She has been missing now for three days. We have sent out three search...
Hey, I have a mini Rex doe that just had her 2nd litter about 2 weeks ago (first litter was totally fine). When they where a few days old I counted five and left them alone in the nesting box. The next day I counted four I just thought that I miscounted or something because the dropping pan and...
I ordered chicks from Ideal Poultry and they were shipped on Tuesday. I called today because the post office still has not received them. The last tracking scan was in Texas on Tuesday so no one has any idea where they are... :( While I am sure that Ideal will make it right for me, I am...
hi guys,
I’ve already posted a few times about how my male mallard got loose at night and we found him missing Monday morning (4/9). Something had seemed to have been stealing / raging eggs I hadn’t found in our yard. We live in NJ in a suburban area and I raised three ducks together, one...
Hi guys!
Tonight I put up about 90 flyers in the area and got a call from a man who said he saw him about a mile from the house at a Home Depot flying low and taking breaks, walking. He thought it was odd because he was alone. He ended up flying towards a stream that spans a few townships but...
i posted earlier about how I thought something happened with my male
Mallard. After searching my backyard even more I see no sign of struggle or harm, just an open hutch door and a few missing eggs (I’m assuming my dogs wouldn’t have found / been interested in all of a sudden eating those eggs)...
I've had this chick for roughly a week and I've noticed her right eye is missing. Her beak is fine and doesn't appear to be having any other problems, however I was hoping to get any advice on caring for her that I can. That goes for immediate or preventive action. I can post a picture of her...
We are new to Chickens and EVERYTHING that comes with it. My Polish has been "suffering" for the last 2 weeks. He started with a "March walk" , now it toes are curled, if he stands us he is wobbly, he can barley walk and more so than not, his legs slide from him. My husband took him to the...
I thought I'd share this with the community. Sometimes the chickens don't go into their nests at night and they roost up in the trees, which makes for some pretty interesting nights, running around in the dark, chasing off raccoons or whatever. One night, we heard a ruckus and blasted into the...
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...
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...
