Sadly, our neighbor adopted a dog and after it killed her chickens, got out and killed a feral chicken on our property, she allowed it to get out again, and it broke into our run and killed nearly all our chickens.

What medications and such would you suggest a person have on hand to treat the most common chicken ailments? And how does one get this stuff ahead of time / without a prescription? Thank you!

An egg that hatched yesterday afternoon had been foaming through the pip hole, so I think the chick somehow ruptured the yolk sac while trying to hatch. The chick hatched and I assumed it wouldn't last long. But I tied off the umbilical cord, wrapped her in a towel to keep her separate from the...

Aloha! This is probably a bit of a unique problem, but any help is appreciated. My family decided to get some laying hens this year, and have had a hard time finding a local breeder who's got any. While we were waiting for something to come through, we thought we'd try to catch some feral...
