    What is digging by my coop?

    Hello! So recently I have noticed a number of small holes all around my coop! They don’t seem to be going anywhere, just holes. There is dirt everywhere and these holes are becoming a nuisance. I noticed them about a month and thought it was the dog or squirrels. Please help!

    sounds good. i guess i’ll let it run through my flock, whatever it is. i’ve lost 4 chickens to it, so i don’t think there is much i can do. maybe start new when they’re all gone. :( thank you for your help!!!

    purple comb discoloration, underweight, no appetite, strange behavior

    yep. she caught a few bugs and ran away with them but that’s the extent of what she did outside. i picked her up a few times and she was kind of stinky. super light, maybe weighs 1 1/2 pounds. she’s two years old. came to me for treats but didn’t do her usual loud clucking and jumping, just...

    she went outside with the others when i let them out, but just kind of stood around, she scratched a bit in the dirt and was eating grass but for the most part looked disinterested

    I saw her in the nesting box two days ago. I thought I attached a pic of her comb but it didn’t go through. I haven’t checked her crop. Her abdomen isn’t bloated right now, she’s so skinny. I checked her and didn’t see any mites or lice, and her vent looked fine. She’s been running after bugs...

    Are you implying I should have killed him?
