A raccoon is simply being its wild self and trying to survive. If they get one of your birds, it's nothing personal. Why hate? Prevention is the more logical course, in my opinion.

The grocery store I used to shop at in California had a store brand that I adored, and their milk chocolate ice cream with swirls of peanut butter through it was to DIE for! How I miss it...

Well, her rallying of yesterday evening seems to be over. She really can't even hold her head up now, yet she is still alive. If she's still alive tomorrow morning, I'm going to take her with me to work and see if the vet I work for will euthanize her. I can't stand to see sweet little...

Hi Cheeper, you're a cute lil' chickie! A Cochin, perhaps?

UPDATE! I just checked on her again, and she's eating her laying pellets! What the heck, from death's door to eating in 6 hours? Dare I hope?

Hugh! Your babies are darling, I love the feathery feet on the Cochins! I'm from San Jose, and I remember spending a lot of happy hours in the Santa Cruz mountains. Hug a tree for me, willya?

She's a sex-link, Golden Comet variety. I could always recognize her by her one huge white feather in her wing. I just checked on her, and she's still alive...

What a loving and uplifting thing for you to share with all of us, thank you!

I'm just down the road from you in Maiden. Let me know if I can help...

I'm about experience the first loss from my flock. I have a hen that hasn't been eating, and today she couldn't walk. I took her out, put her in a crate and have been syringe-feeding electrolyte fluids. There are no signs of injury or disease on her that I can see, and everyone else is fine...

It might get kinda icky, but as long as you wash your feet afterwards, you'll be ok. Oh, don't do it if you have any open sores on your feet.

I agree that they're crosses, perhaps the first one is and Old English cross? They're VERY handsome fellas, however, and those pics are great!

*looks at the bite scars on my hands* This vet assistant is NOT a fan!

I actually have a hen I call "Hippy Chick". She's always the one to wander off by herself and get out when no others can. We figure she just "needs to be free, man" and has to "commune with nature".

The wind was really high in the early afternoon here today. I went riding, and the horse I was on found the wind to be most distasteful!

My son's Doberman had/has similar problems when we rescued him almost a year ago. He's just now coming around, but still snaps at my husband because my husband is afraid of him and he senses it. It takes a minimum of a year to turn a traumatized rescue dog around. You have the added...

Yup, for temperment and egg-laying, you can't beat Orpingtons and Australorps. And they're pretty chickens, as well.

How exciting - congratulations on your new babies! A production red is usually some sort of Rhode Island cross, yes. They're egg-laying machines, so you'll be glad you have her.
