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...

My sweet chicken Jennie Mae passed away last night. She had been acting strange but we agreed that she was just old. All of my other chickens are doing fine.
Her favorite treat was blueberries and the peanuts from the Flock Party.
R.I.P. to my final two hens from the original 6. The first hens we bought were 2 White Leghorns, 2 Rhode Island Reds, and 2 Americanas. Sadly, after 5 full and happy years, all of those 6 hens are gone. The RIRs, one White, and one Americana all died throughout the last 4 years give or take...
Hey guys, yesterday my budgie, Teah, passed away. :hitI only had him for three months, but I feel like we were connected as though I'd had him longer. He was a very special bird to me. Unfortunately while I was gone from the house, my cat stuck his paw into the cage and pulled out Teah, and he...
Recently we have been having trouble with predators. Witch we never have. We had 5 chickens left before spring, they where 2 years old. Suddenly one morning we found 2 of them dead in the coup without their heads. Feathers everywhere. The same thing happens to one of our family members who lives...
Hey everyone,
My little silkie rooster Tito got attacked last night by a dog. She had him in his mouth but when I checked him he has no punctures nor blood. Right now he can't crow (and oh how he loves to sing) and he's very sad.
What can I do to make him feel better? Please help :hit
They can’t bust through the membrane - the first I thought was just weak but now just have done something wrong - only briefly opened (I mean less than 5 seconds) incubator on day 19 (and none were pipped at the time) to add water and now they bust the shell but not through the membrane. I’m...

Hello everyone :( I am writing this today with a very heavy heart. I went outside this afternoon, only to find my Polish chicken, Phyllis, and my Sultan, Tip, dead in the grass. It was not a pretty sight. These two were only a month and a half old. Phyllis was sweet, obsessed with people, and...
Title says it all. I need help with the two still living, they are breathing and have some scratches to their combs and wattles. only just found them then. Both male, about 20weeks? They are mutts. I don't know what to do.

Help! My chicken, Lavender, is struggling after her "mother" and "best-friend" died.
Lavender is a silkie hen, about 1 to 1 1/2 years old, laying frequently (every day).
We had an ill Rhode Island Red hen that was her "carer" in a way - they were always together. She got an impacted crop and...
Hello and thanks for helping!
I acquired four chickens when I purchased this house a few months back and the large white one who previously ran the coop has become extremely, um, lazy. She will make it in and out of the coop every day and occasionally walk the pen but generally she just sits...
I have this hen who laid two eggs (1 fertile, 1 not fertile). She got up and demolished the fertile egg and did not eat it, then sat on the not fertile egg. WHAT. Why did she do that?
(WARNING YOU MIGHT BURST IN TEARS)
today I woke up and checked on my chickens, then I saw, my beloved welsummer (half a year old) hen was lying on the floor with a terrified face (she was headless) I immediately thought it was a mink (minks kill chickens for fun) and today I buried her. I buried...
I've been on 'vacation' (a work trip) since May 28th and will not be leaving until July the 19th. We left our four ducks, Astrid(f), Dupont(m), Max(m), and Pistachio(f) back home with their grandmother and their 13 chicken friends in a coop. They are all 'big ducks' now but I had to miss...
