    2.5 month old Bonita not walking well—losing will to eat/drink:(

    Our girl Bonita (Lavender Orpington): We made a huge mistake at the beginning by putting straw around the inside perimeter of their brooder. The primary substrate was wood flakes, but we wanted to insulate them with it being November cold. We quickly learned that it was too slick for their baby...

    What is this?

    My chicken has a swollen hard spot on her breast and under wing, and when I checked it, there was a big black splotch. She is tripping because of it when she walks. What is it? My theory is frostbite, but I'm not sure. Thanks.

    Chickens attacked, 2 dead, one injured. GRAPHIC PICS

    I think an owl attacked my chickens last night. My younger birds are smart and like to sleep on top of the coop, which is surrounded by fencing and netting. If something crawled up there from the ground it would have been loud and the birds would have gotten away. I had 27 chickens. But only my...
