I have a young 3 month old peacock and he is best friends with my two young hens but when we let them out to free range he never goes back in with them and we have to get him off of trees at night. How do I get him to roost with the others?

Thank you! I thought they had a real problem

I have two 4 month old hens and a 4 month old peacock that stick together like glue. Sometimes when of my older hens makes a warning call (I don't know if thats what you call it but kind of like a chicken in distress) or even with out a warning call my chicks(including peacock) freeze.

I have a dog that is also a hunting dog mutt. He will break the necks of the mourning doves when he gets the chance but he's learned to love the chickens. At first it was tough but what we do is we make the dog sit and hold the chicken in front of it face and, I know this sounds bad. When you...

Thank you! i just checked on her and she had her eyes closed while standing up and she struggled to open them her feathers got more puffed up. I ordered some wazine 17 that will come today or tomorrow and i will do that as soon as possible.

My hen has recently been sitting at the back of the coop and her tail feathers are low and she is not active. it just looks like a common sickness but those can be deadly! What can I do to help her?

Thats perfectly normal but not too common. It happens a lot with beginning layers along with double yolks. If the membrane is keeping the yolk in that means they are very healthy :)

I would say the neighbors have something to do with it, if it worries you, ask them. I have a parrot and they are capable of making very strange sounds.

Two roosters could go very bad. They could get along great but then gang up on you and the hens or they could hate each other and fight all day and become even more aggressive. I don't personally like the idea of meat birds only because I can't handle it but if you want them buffs are perfect...

Hello earnyms! Is your broody hen in an open place? raccoons or rats could be getting to them. And make sure if you have other chickens with her that they are getting enough food because if not, they could eat hers. It's happened to me :(
