    Need help with survivor of hawk attack

    Rooster with a Broken Hip

    I've got 11 chickens 9 which are hens. This summer one decided she likes to leave the coop and eat apples under the tree.

    My hen is healing up after being attacked by a hawk, and I think that by keeping her inside, I've given her my cold. I checked on her this morning and she was making small wheezing sounds, which she had never done before. Can anyone suggest some antibiotics (that are safe for laying hens) that I...

    Rooster with VERY swollen eye area. Help?

    Just yesterday, I noticed that my rooster, Reggie, was only facing everything with one side. When I looked at his right side, I saw that all around his eye was very swollen, and looked pretty bad. He's acting otherwise normal, and CAN blink. The eye itself doesn't seem to be injured, maybe just...
