All from today. Had a bit of an issue... several of them were bloody. But I think it was a head wound not a vent issue. Poor Lacy had clots on her head. Viscous little dinosaurs!
 
Well hey ya'll, sorry iv'e been awol but iv'e been having a wonky spell.
I have been basically hospice caring for a chicken and even though that sort of thing should not bother me when it comes to animals it really does.
So anyway it is over, she passed this afternoon so I can ugly cry it out and get back to "normal".
Nunny, huge newfound respect for you and your crippled chicken experiences iv'e been doing it for weeks it sucks dirty socks.
If anyone is curious I lost Sallie, she just got worse and worse mobility wise.
I don't know if it was a lack of resistance or just a super nasty strain of bacteria but crap it was awful.
Missed you guys! :)

So sorry Chickie
 
Squatchers I need your advice. Just after 5 pm my neighbor’s dogs broke into my yard and attacked my flock. My cockerel is missing. One hen is injured, but not badly. She has a small comb tear, lots of missing feathers , and some abrasions where the feathers were ripped out. No puncture wounds that I can find.

Question: after cleaning her wounds should I put her back with the flock tonight, or keep her inside? And is there anything else I should do for her?

If she isn't in shock or badly injured, I would put her back. If she is acting shocky, put her in a dark, warm room for the night.
