We live in austria and the summers are very very hot, so I'm thinking the mites have got out of control very quickly. Also conversely, in the winter it will be very cold, with ...

She was badly bullied and pecked at our friends and ending up having to be kept on her own for nearly 2 months. When we took her and the others on they made a new flock and didn't seem to have any problems. Molly had been coated with the black tar stuff as ...

I was wondering if it is possible to catch thread worms from chickens or their poo?
My 3 year old daughter has caught them from somewhere, and although its most likely to be from someone at her nursery i was concerened incase it was anything to do with our hens.

Disaster!! pale

The next door neighbour's two dogs, one a terrier, dug through and got into my garden.
They had killed two of my girls before I could grab hold of them and throw them back over the fence.

My daughter and I spent last weekend digging wire down about 21" and backing with stones, to try and keep them out. Rolling Eyes
Relations with next door are NOT good atm. Laughing

To start, I don't know how old my hen Cherry is because she came from a friend of a friend. Cherry has been hanging out for the past 5 days.

She has not laid any eggs since we have had her which is about 2 months now. When she tried to get up she wobbled a bit then laid back down. I picked her up and cleaned up her rear end. ...

One of my marans has a swollen and puffy face just on the one side and it's been like this for about 4 days.

Does anyone know what may be causing this? We have nettles growing within the pen but they tend to avoid that area and I have seen them catching flies and bees but would have thought that if she'd been stung the swelling would have gone by now?
