    My hen was attacked by dog, what are her chances of living?

    So our friends brought their dog over and let her off of the leash because she stays pretty close to them. Our hens are free range and weren’t anywhere nearby at the time so we didn’t think much of it. A little while later we heard chickens screaming on the other side of the house. Murphy (the...

    One new chicken won't leave the coop

    I got two hens Sunday both 6-7 months old. One has definitely taken the role of dominant and been aggressive towards the other although I didn't work too much about it since I know they need to establish a pecking order. But now the submissive one has taken refugee in the coop and refuses to...

    Hens not eating?

    I recently got my three hens about five days ago. I was told that their food should last about 4 days, but they've barely touched it. I have given them one of those blocks of corn and such (called a pecking block I think?) but I can't quite tell how much they've had because it rained which...
