    Chicken in shock after introducing new hens?

    My Wyandotte’s have been on the extreme side of being easily stressed. The first time we introduced new hens to the flock, the molted from stress and their feathers grew back brittle. They’re still brittle 2 years later. We’ve been giving them crumble per the vet to try and increase their...

    My young chicken had its wing chewed off by a dog

    The entire wing is gone. Most of its feathers are gone. This all happened around, I'd say, an hour ago. Maybe less than that. 10:20 AM or so, I believe. It's currently in shock right now. Opens its eyes a little bit but doesn't seem to register anything. Keep shivering and twitching. (By the...

    surviving a predator attack

    I hate to make my appearance on this forum by introducing a sad situation but here goes. Last Saturday night, March 16, a predator, probably a fox, dug a hole under my shed, killed my duck and injured my drake. The drake's head and body seem fine but one leg seems injured. I took him to a vet...

    Help, my pullet got scalped by her siblings

    My first time posting for help!!! I have found so much information here, it's great!! So, when I opened the coop as usual today at 7am to let the birds out, they all were excited as normal to get out, Rooster first, followed by the pullets, and two bit older bantam pullets. EXCEPT for one...

    Near miss by juvenile hawk, pullet in possible shock?

    Hi all, My 14-week old Ancona pullet, Nanny, was out free ranging and apparently became separated from her flockmates - four sisters of same age and three older hens. She just barely escaped a ground attack by a juvenile hawk. My husband happened to be looking out the kitchen window and saw the...

    Rooster Insulate

    I am thinking of getting some show birds and breeding them but we live in an urban area. Can we insulate are show hutch for the rooster so we can't hear him. Any suggestions? thanks :)

    Fox attack

    Hey there, One of my hens was attacked by a fox she only had minor wounds and was in shock. I cleaned her wounds and put neosporin on them. I left her with the rest of the flock for the first night and day but then noticed she seemed tired and was closing her eyes standing up so I separated her...

    Advice please! Possible heat stroke?

    Okay so there has been lots of chicken drama lately. A group of my hens have become egg eaters! But worse, the big ladies are picking on the little silkie ladies. They have separate coops but I let them free range together during the day. And the second the coop doors are open. They're raiding...

    Lingering half closed eye (one side only)

    My flock got decimated a few weeks back (60 days-ish) by what I suspect was a racoon. I lost 21 birds and had 2 healthy ones and 3 in shock birds left. I brought back all 3 in shock birds but one of them still has an eye that is half shut. It's opened up about 50% since the attack so she is...

    Silkie in shock

    I made a thread a little while back about a Silkie that I had who wasn’t growing properly. Well she did grow a bit more so I put her in the big pen. It’s the next day and I went down to check on her and she was sitting in the corner of the pen with her head tucked under her wing and a patch of...

    Chicken attacked by dog. Open wound B/n leg and body

    I apologize for the graphic image, but I dont really know how to describe the wound in a way to show the difficulty of helping this bird on our own if it’s possible. Our neighbor’s dog got ahold of one of our chickens and tore open a LARGE portion of our hen’s skin, exposing a vast amount of leg...
