    Coyote in broad daylight!

    https://drivewayalert.com/product/home-yard-alert-ext-lr-system/ We have these. They are a little pricey but seem to last better than the Harbor Freight driveway alarms. And also the driveway alarm. You can find that one on Amazon for about $50

    Chicks HELP

    It sounds like a birth defect, not an illness. Keep the others warm and hope for the best. A heal lamp that keeps their area around 95 degrees and also an area they can get away from the heat in case they get too hot. I use a storage tote with a heat lamp suspended over one side.

    young chicken stopped laying eggs, not pooping much, lethargic, and puffy

    Hi, Have you ever de wormed her? How does the poop look even though there isn't much of it? How does her crop feel? If she's not eating much it should be mostly empty and small. Have you tried some good treats to get her to eat? Scrambled egg is usually a winner.

    It is most likely the respiratory infection. It doesn't like an injury. How are you treating the infection in the others?

    If you did feel the need to scare the cat away a blast from the garden hose or a super soaker would be better than a BB gun.

    Another coop heating question but abnormal situation

    At least 5 years if not longer. The one on the coop wall only gets used in extreme minus temps, so maybe a few times a year. The other has been used many times for chicks or a sick or injured bird.

    how do you wash eggs properly?

    I also don't wash them. If there is a little dirt or poop on them I wipe it off with a damp paper towel. If they are really poopy, Those eggs get scrambled and fed back to the hens.

    Dog Attacked Chicken

    Since you've cleaned it well I would pack it with the silver honey. You could try butterfly closures to pull the skin together. That could keep it clean and keep it from drying out. You can also buy Vetbond surgical glue on Amazon if you think you need to close it but it might be fine. I had...

    Reproductive infection

    I have an 11 year old hen that has had a few rounds of enrofloxacin when her abdomen starts to swell and she shows signs of reproductive infection. I have not had to drain her as the antibiotic works for her and the watery swelling subsides. Since she isn't laying you don't have to worry about...

    Raccoon Attack

    We no longer let ours into the yard if we aren't home. We did for years until we had a loss. I'm surprised now that we did it so long without losing any chickens. Can you trap the raccoon and kill it?

    Did you use actual antibiotics or just the herbal remedy for infection? I wasn't sure from your response if you tried both or just the herbal.
