My German shepherd mix pups killed 7 of mine over months. Ringo got three one afternoon when he got under the back fence. We fixed the fencing and the dogs, a year old now, are not allowed out front off leash. We are working with them on chasing chickens. They never drew blood, just think of...

I see the wild birds out front in OK during the cold spell we just had. They become lowriders. Sit on their legs and feet while they eat. Smart. We locked the chickens in the barn since they can't find anything to scratch at in the snow anyway and weren't coming out. I did spoil them on the...

Here in OK they die of lead poisoning if they go after someone's chickens. My young dogs have killed 7 of mine over time and we are working with them. As they get older they are learning they are not squeaky toys, but it is hard. If they had been anyone else's birds we might not have the pups...

What I learned. If you have a sick bird, don't report it. Hide your babies. The government is treating this the same way it did the Rona. Heavy handed and they know what is best even when they don't. I am so sorry.

When I come home from work, mine run to the sliding glass door and wait for treats.

Poison in inhumane for several reasons in my opinion. The rat is just doing what it needs to survive, and even though chickens may not eat them, raptors do. I am a wildlife rehabilitator and we see owls poisoned and dying from rat poison. I catch and release a good distance away.

And that is more humane for the rat too. I love all animals, not just my girls. Hens may not eat the poisoned rats, but owls and other raptors do, and they die. I am a wildlife rehabilitor and we see it all the time.

Sounds like a respiratory problem with the wheezing. Have you tried antibiotics?

The sick one was drinking more than anyone else, and she is eating again and running around the yard. When we have problems in wild birds in the pre-release flight cage we treat them all like this. So nice to see her acting normal. She showed up in my yard as an adult 8 1/2 years ago when some...

I have done that before, but am afraid of it spreading to the other chickens. Seems easier to treat all 6 at once.

The green poop seems to indicate Cocc but not eating made me think maybe she had the sore throat of trich. Chickie Little had solid poop this morning and is still green, so at least I think she is eating. She looks better too. I started putting Albon in their water a couple days ago. Sure hope...

I have been putting Albon in their water, and today Chickie Little had a solid poop, but it was still bright green. I volunteer for Project Wildlife so have access to the drugs here for my wild birds. I am syringe feeding Buffy and she is looking better too. After 8 years of no problems, we...

I have a 2 1/2 year old Buff Orphington that did this a few weeks ago. I put her on antibiotics, and other meds for what could be affecting her. She is still not eating well, but I am syringe feeding her several times a day hoping she will start doing more than pecking around. Her feathers are...
