Thank you! Yes she is just a meany. I hate to lose one of my 6 though, makes a nice dozen eggs after 2 days.

Thank you! This one is practical and gave me a laugh!

We certainly thought of putting her in the pot lol

That is a great idea!

Thank you! Yes, they have plenty of room, they can range over an acre. She just seems like a mean girl.

We have 6 golden comets and one has always been a bully. They are a year old. She bites me and the other hens. Now, she is pining one hen down by the neck and standing on her, I’ve seen it twice now. She is always a loner away from the rest. I am not sure what to do with her, my only thought...

Thank you so much for your reply, we will not get this Roo I don’t want him to be hurt

I have a flock of 6 GCs that are about a year old. I am thinking of taking in a well mannered silkie rooster who is over a year old as well. I do not want the ladies to hurt our newcomer who will be smaller then them and am not sure about taking him in because of this. Advice please? Thanks...

This is perfect - thank you!

Thank you! I still have a lot to learn and appreciate the help!

Thank you! These are great suggestions! I really have thought about whether it is smart to even let them roam at all. I appreciate the age baseline as well.

Thank you! I love the treat can idea!

Thank you! I am going to see if hubby can make something like this :)

I am exploring the possibility of letting my ladies start to roam. They are 7 weeks, but we have a lot of predators here - owl, other birds of prey, cats, coyotes, fox, bear, etc. They are about the size of a mourning dove, maybe a bit bigger. I have 5 acres, about 2.5 of it is woods. No...

Thank you!
