Help: Need Help Collecting Chicken & Predator Stories

[webbysmeme]

I write a chicken blog and have been working on a series related to illnesses/emergencies and have come to the end of the issues I've dealt with first hand (i.e. prolapsed vent, split beak, assisted hatches, bumblefoot, egg binding). I have very little experience with predator attacks.

I'm looking for folks willing to tell me their stories and if possible provide photos of your bird. I will do further research, work on the article and send you the draft before it's posted. You'll be given credit for your contribution.

I've posted on several chicken FB groups and have formed some happy collaborations and am looking to expand to issues related to chickens emergencies and predator attacks.

If you want to check out my blog or talk to me please feel free to contact me directly.

I'll be glad to talk to you. Or, you can just go to the emergencies forum and get my story. I'm still dealing with my hens injuries. I think it is called that possum clawed one of my old girls. Or something like that. It has been a very traumatic experience for all of us here.

Thanks - can I use your story/photos in some way?

It is not good to ask, but not respond to very simple questions. So no.

I have lots of owl observations. Do you want a single event or some sort of compilation?

something short and easy and then i'll see if i can use more - thanks

I'm not sure what this is in reference to. Can you elaborate?

I now have photos of dog, hawk, owl, eagle, mink, raccoon and opossum attacks - some with photos of the predator. I even have a photo of a bear and lynx in a coop. Still looking for bobcat, skunk, raven, snake, fox and coyote. Good shots of the damage and/or predator would be appreciated. If you've got something interesting I'd like to see it.
