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

    If you didn't catch it above, use Neosporin or triple antibiotic WITHOUT the lidocaine, or numbing agent.

    How long is too long away from eggs?

    My son efficiently collected eggs today, including ones that were under a broody pullet (by accident) They were brought into my cool 62°F house for about an hour. I put them back in the nesting box. Will they continue developing, or was I too late? Back story: I was away on vacation, and when I...

    Official BYC Poll: How Many Chickens Do You Have?

    How about an "accidental" or "in progress" amount, which is where I'm currently at. :pop

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Soooooo, I came back from my cruise, and apparently my son was intimidated by a broody olive egger, so he didn't get the eggs that she is setting. I really didn't want any chicks right now, but cannot sell these developing eggs. I got them and candled them, most are fertile and developing, on...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Tomatoes and peppers don't mind root disturbance. It's the squash family that does....zucchini, rookneck, cucumbers, pumpkins and the like.

    PLEASE HELP!! Chicken missing flesh on head!! Skull showing

    Poor girl. Most important, get her to at least drink. You can use an eyedropper and just put the liquid at the side of her beak. You can also squirt raw egg yolk. She is probably in shock, and will take time to recover from that first. You are doing the best you can. Get incontinence pads to put...

    What is this? Cannot find any info. Strange feather or weird extra appendage?

    This thing is hard, stiff, and by feeling the base of it, runs up into her foot. The yellow sheath material seems to be in sections/layers. She will be 2 years old in March, Marans breed, so feathered legs. It doesn't seem to affect or impeded her at all, and she is molting now, with normal...

    Please help! 2 healthy pullets passed away out of nowhere

    I've had birds just drop dead with no prior symptoms. Sudden death syndrome. It's sadly part of raising chickens.

    Swelled up scab on waddle - need advice!

    It looks like a 'bumblefoot' on her wattle. You could treat it as such. There is probably a pus nodule in there, which needs to be taken out. If you can put a damp, warm compress on it for 15 min., then work around the scab, finally removing it and the underlying infection. She may also have an...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We had quite the windstorm 2 nights ago, and it blew the covers off my dahlia beds, then it supposed to rain for the unforeseeable future. Have to go and recover them. Put up Christmas lights during the rain break yesterday. Had a power outage which lasted all night, so the house got cold. Lots...
