Thank you will try the meal worms!!!! We have 9 hens and are coop is 6ft by. 6 ft with a 6ft by 14 ft run:D

Anyone have any suggestions we have 9 hens and all but 2 have bare spots from being plucked from each other. We have tried adding the chicken swing and also the block treat in case it is caused by boredom. Not sure what to do:hu

My husband made 2 swings for our coop today! Can't wait til they use it on their own:)

Can't wait for the girls to swing on their own:D

We noticed this and have separated her from the others as they were pecking at her. Could this have been caused by our rooster? They are all 4 1/2 months old. Could something else be going on? Wondering if we should get rid of our rooster.

Thank you:)

Yes he is!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Our 4 1/2 month old EE Rooster "large Marge":D

Great :D thank you so much!

About 4 1/2 months

My daughter noticed today that one of our barred rocks has a much larger and redder comb than our other two. Is she just growing faster or do we have a rooster?:/

These are our two EE's The hen is dr. Pecker and the rooster is large marge:D

Thank you so much

thank you We tried that but I guess ours are still to little. Will try again when they are bigger. Do you know how long it takes to establish their pecking order?

yes thank you! It's amazing how the chicks that are just a few weeks older can be so mean! Good luck to you combining your flock let us know how it goes and if you have any helpful hints on the process.
