Oh and they really don't eat enough of they're later feed because it's still in the 90's and 100's here so they refuse to eat it which is why we feed them other stuff to cool them off and in the winter I'm planning to just feed them layer feed, bread, corn, noodles, and meal worms. Possibly...

Wouldn't the dried meal worms I feed them help? I'm not sure how much I feed them of it today but I give them enough to where everyone gets some

Well I stated most of this in this post but it's a 12 by 12 area with perches at different heights as well as the roof to the hen house and mini run they can jump on in the middle, they get worms, fruits, corn, regular food, corn out barely mixture and bread is what I can remember right now. We...

This is a picture I just took of the wound the one has gotten from the other

Anyone?

So we used antibiotic cream and Vaseline on the areas that they get picked on but now one of my chickens has a wound from being pecked on. We gave them more perches and 2 bowls of each type of food far away from each other. The one who pecks is the biggest and will eat anything and everything...

Do you mean soft shell eggs or actual rubbery eggs?

We do feed them worms almost everyday but maybe not enough! So we will try feeding them some more as well as adding some more perches. On the bright side I'm still getting eggs from the ones being picked on so it must not be stressful to them I hope. Thank you for your responses! I feel kind of...

So for the no peck spray/lotion. Our local big R doesn't have it so we decided to put Vaseline on the areas big bird pecks. Well she stopped pecking those areas but now she packs other areas. We just put out a bunch of different food for them to eat and she just seems to do it no matter what we...

Okay thank you! I thought it was some kind of sex link but wasn't sure since it was from the "assorted" bin of chicks

So my chickens are starting to lay now they are about 21 weeks old (one started 2 weeks ago) and that was my barred rock who's only issue was some spotted eggs (but the spots were smooth) and recently my hen who we don't know the breed of started laying eggs but they don't seem to be coming out...

We have a perch in one corner, the other corner has stones stacked on each other with fresh soil underneath, there's a smaller run in the middle (it connects to the hen house/prebuilt one we bought that had to have the small run attached to put the roof on) they tend to hide in on one side of...

They've have oyster shells out for them for a few weeks and we've caught her eating it once but she might not be eating enough and doesn't seem to care for it but hopefully the soft shell won't happen again. As for the pecking I will go look for the lotion when we go to Big R next (we have to...

6 hens in a 12 by 12 squared feet area can't really let them free range due to hawk problems however we let them roam around the door some times when we're cleaning their cage or giving them new food but they refuse to go any farther (figures chickens are chicken)

There is multiple we give them different fruits, corn, bread, noodles, regular feed, worms, etc all at the same time

So my hens/pullets (not sure which to call them) are 5 months and 1 week old today and ever since my barred rock starting laying eggs (the only one laying eggs currently and a little before she started) she's become very food aggressive towards some of the chickens (the smallest Easter Egger...

Thought it was a single pea comb than males have 3

All my chickens are almost 20 weeks old with our BR just starting to lay this week and I noticed my Easter Egger might have a pea comb, doesn't this indicate it's a male? She/he has NEVER crowed and is pretty quiet, she/he gets picked on a lot by one of the Rhode Island reds (but our barred rock...

Hey guys! I just got my first egg!! Not sure who did it but the barred rock (pepper) been squatting a lot and chattering a lot and she stopped talking after we found the egg they are 19 weeks old today

Alright ty! Now it's back to the waiting game, I go in their coop each morning and before I open up the nests I ask them "did you guys lay me an egg today?" And then I would open it and see there was only the dummy eggs and I'll say "ok nvm" as they all start coming up into the coop to visit me :lau
