    How to give Vitamin E?

I've seen her reach around to her right with it though to preen herself, so she can move it. It seems to have been an injury from when I was putting her & her brood mates (7 in all) in a...

    Hen caught by fox - alive but has a neck injury. Any hope?

    Hi, I'm new to keeping chickens and I got my first pair this summer. The fox has been here twice now and the first two are no longer. It's sad and a bit discouraging, but at least the fox took them away. My problem is the one he left behind. I caught him yesterday with my brown italian's neck...
