    Panicking Hen

    Does any ones else have a hen that panics when you leave? And what can I do to help her calm down? Normally when I let her out to roam in the yard, she follows me like a puppy.

    Self-inflicted Silkie Injury

    Hi! Two days ago there was a big storm here and my chickens were all spooked! The worst two sufferers were my silkie chicks. One of them got herself stuck between two layers of the coop wall (unharmed) and the other one tried to escape and sliced off the back of her neck!! I patted her with a...
