    Hawk Hunting Chickens?

    The person mentioning 'lethal means' is listed in the Pacific Northwest, I'm assuming in the USA. And raptors are also protected in Canada. mary

    Hawk Hunting Chickens?

    All raptors are federally protected in the USA, not just in 'some areas'. Mary

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Finally I was able to let the Thanksgiving youngsters out with the main flock! The snow is melting, so everyone could meet outside, and have space to get acquainted safely. They've been separated by hardware cloth for weeks, so all is well. And one of our almost three year old Chantie hens...

    And it's reasonable for her to be totally freaked out, regardless of physical injuries! Mary

    Help - behavior after bobcat incident

    She's a very lucky bird! I think that Silvadene is best, 'silver sulfadiazine' is the generic, Rx from your vet, as a wound dressing. And keep your birds in their safe (I hope) coop and run for a few weeks, at least! Approximately where are you located? We al have so many predators who love...

    Dog attack!

    Are you talking about Silvadene? The generic is silver sulfadiazine, and it's wonderful stuff. Just a small amount on the wound daily works very well. Mary

    **Emergency: Raccoon Attack – Urgent Help Needed for My Injured Chicken**

    This virus will invade a hangnail, small scratch, or mucous membranes, and once symptoms develop, it's way too late! Mary

    LOOKING TO BUY EXZOLT IN THE US

    Do your birds free range? Can wild birds get into your coop or run? Here we are often fighting mites, because of reinfections, because of free ranging and visiting little songbirds when the coop door is open. At least here it's not a product failure. Mary

    **Emergency: Raccoon Attack – Urgent Help Needed for My Injured Chicken**

    Rabies: she won't get rabies, but you can! If you handled her without wearing gloves, you had raccoon saliva on you, and that's a big problem for you. Call your ER, and your doctor, and your public health people soonest! This is nothing to fool around with, and I'm sorry you don't have this...

    Cackle Hatchery

    Love bantams! especially the Cackle EEs, and Cochins and Brahmas. And can't forget the Belgian d'Uccles! Mary

    Dog attack!

    I'd avoid BluKote, and would much rather use Silvadene (brand name) which is an excellent antibiotic wound dressing, Rx only in the USA. Ask your veterinarian or MD about it. It's a sulfa drug, so handle with great care if you are allergic to sulfas. Very recently we had an injured pullet, I...

    Which Roo would you choose??

    I agree with @McChooky, keep the year old and the four month old for now, and see how they get along, and how the youngster develops. Either or both, or neither one, might work for your flock. I also wouldn't keep those chicks by your nasty rooster. Take the time to evaluate these birds...

    Murray McMurray Fayoumi quality?

    We had good success with birds from MMcM, and the one time we got a Fayoumi cockerel as the extra chick, he was lovely. He started crowing at 28 days of age, beyond cute! Mary

    Adorable! And bantam Cochins are the best! Post more pictures as they grow, and start now how to plan for all those cockerels... Mary
