We had some great feedback and recommendations from last week&#8217;s newsletter regarding snakes so I wanted to pass some of it along to all of you. I hope you find it helpful&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We acquired a Blue Heeler puppy last July 2009, thinking that she would grow up with chickens and not hurt them. Now she enjoys chasing them. At nine months old, we think she killed one hen today. The head was completely bitten off. These hens are normally protected in their run, but we let the [...]]]></description>

During that time several of the chickens have had wounds that bled. I was advised to used corn starch to dry the wounds. This morning I went into the coop and one of my chickens was dead.
