Have you asked in the Emergency section here yet? Maybe someone else has experienced what you are dealing with. Good luck!

I was about to type the same response, when I got a notification saying that my password, which I use in multiple places, was compromised. I quickly got ahold of my bank and am no longer using the same password there or in other places. *whew!*

Hi everyone, I have a chicken that was attacked by a dog about 3 weeks ago she is doing much better, feathers are coming back, but she has a hole in her neck area and when she eats or drinks the food/ water begins coming out. I think she is likely starving. Is the best thing to dispatch her? Or should I try to to super glue the wound shut or something? any ideas or opinions would be appreciated thank you.

I found this older thread.. looks like someone was able to repair the same issue.. hope it helps:

@Geckolady The spoiled one I mentioned is the girl standing next to Louie here in the picture.

I am happy to report my little cochins (now 7.5 weeks) had a play date with the big girls and there were no decapitations! I let the D'Uccles out first, and they could have cared less, then the silkies, who seemed a little interested, then bored, then went back into the coop. I'll have them interact a few more times before they live together.

Oooo, I just got 3 Cochins. So excited, thinking 2 hens (photo) & 1 cockerel. They along with 3 silkies are still in the grow out pen. After this week gonna let them out supervised. Post photos of your girls

when you can.

Oh ill take new pics shortly.. my splash looked like your one in the front of the pic, her blue has gotten more blue, very pretty, with her spots coming in nicely. I think you have a male standing in the back.. see how the comb starts lower on the beak. Can you post your other cochin? How old are they now?
Here is my splash at 4 weeks.

And here is the blue frizzle at 4 weeks, she is always so wiggly

They are eating breakfast i might have spoiled them all with a custom breakfast bowl each morning.. which means a chicken alarm goes off if its late

#1 is the largest, #2 is, well 2nd & #3 I’ll do another post. Have to look through all the photos. Won’t name them until I know for sure they are girl’s. Might keep him, #1. The other photos they switched places. Born on Oct 7th, 6 weeks old.

Now for the silkies, #2 has a totally different comb than I have seen on a silkie at this age.

They are too cute!! Do you know what color they are? The one in the back looks cool. I agree the silkie comb is strange, but it still looks very full silkie.
