    Chicken attacked and has a big bite out of her tail. How can I help her?

    We were woken up about an hour ago by very panicked chicken noises from the backyard.

    Chick is acting very strange! Help needed!

    My two month old roo has been acting very strange recently, he’s been shaking/trembling mostly in his behind and legs, lying down frequently, and hasn’t been roosting with the others. I’m very worried about him! This is the first time this has ever happened and any help is very much appreciated

    Need antibiotic ASAP.

    my chickens and ducks were attacked by a fox. Many died. One duck survived but needed staples. Dr says she needs tetracycline. I can’t find a place that carries that. This is compounded by the fact places are closing due to the hurricane. What else can I use? PLEASE HELP!!
