My dog beat up one of my banty hens. She's really weak, wet, and cold. I'm looking for wounds right now. I think she is mostly just beat up. What can I do to help her feel better? Thanks.
Hey everyone! I live in Nampa, Idaho and have 1 Silkie roo, 10 hens of other breeds and 1 Indian Runner duck.As much as I love them, I can't do as much things like gardening and my dog can't be off the leash when they're out, etc. I don't know if this is the right place to post this. I don't...
I got a Poodle/Shih tzu puppy in March! She is almost 6 months old now. She takes after the Poodle side more. Thought I'd share some pictures! (:

I was about to let the chicken out of their run today. I heard a hawk scream. I looked up and there was a pretty good sized hawk. I didn't get a chance to get a picture, wish I had. I don't quite remember what the top looked like. The belly was white, wings were white with what looked like a...
The dog wasn't feeling good and was in pain so I made an emergency trip to the vet with my sister and brother. He had been acting like this for a couple days and we kind of thought it was near his time to go. The vet said he had slid his disk and he wanted to take some x-rays to make sure it...
Went outside to bring the dog out and noticed my Dark Brahma bantam hens head swollen and bloody. Looks all scratched up and feathers are missing. No other scratches or wounds. I was guessing it was a cat. Another hen had a scratch on her comb and a smudge of blood on her foot and another with...
I found this foot stool at Savers for $10. Yes I know, it's horrible looking!!!! I also found white and coral striped fabric for $2! I sanded the stool, put a primer on it and painted it. Then I put replaced the fabric. I LOVE IT! Here are the before and after pictures -

Hi, everyone. My silkie roo is 3 months (14 weeks) and just started crowing about a week ago. I have noticed that he crows 6-7 times every morning, and that's it. He's not terribly loud either. I was wondering if there was an age that roosters tend to crow the most? Thanks
My dad went into Wal-mart today to get me this Audrey Hepburn magazine as a surprise! I didn't know he really knew how much I love Audrey Hepburn! I have an awesome dad!! (:
I'm really worried about my month old silkie. I have NEVER seen him with a full crop. Its always empty and if there is something in it its water or meal worms.
I bought him some meal worms to try to encourage eating. I gave him a couple black beans (dont know if those are bad for chickens) and...
I have a Blue Silkie Bantam that's 5 weeks and 3 days. My question is how old do they have to be to determine sex? I'm hoping it's a girl, but something is telling my a boy. S/hes kinda noisy and loves turning her/his brooder into a dust bath. Not too noisy but stands kinda tall..Has a very very...
I really wasn't looking to getting any eggs until spring. I went outside and my Indian Runner duck got up and there was an egg under her! It's whitish light green. I have and easter egger who lays similar eggs but when I smelled the two, the EES smelled like a regular egg and the "duck" egg...
Hi everyone. I went outside this morning and noticed my hen is limping. No bumblefoot. One foot is a normal color and warm. The other foot is red and cold. What should I do? I was thinking (so far) I should soak her foot in some warm water, maybe that would help. Thanks
About a week and a 1/2 ago I noticed my hen wasn't eating as much and she was puffing up. I figured it was because it's colder outside. About 4 days ago she was REALLY sick. Dehydrated, loss of appetite, comb fell to one side of face and is now pink and not red, SUPER skinny! I posted on here...
A week or two ago I lost my Cayuga drake due to a hawk. :/ The other day I saw a hawk almost (sooooo close) grab my bantam easter egger. She doesn't even weigh a pound. lol She's a grab n' go. So today I have been noticing..She WILL NOT come out of the coop and run!! I'm actually kinda happy she...
