    Pecking at feet?

    Hi all. We moved our chicks (6 weeks) into their coop yesterday. We have 5 Bantam Silkies and 10 Rhode Island Reds. We woke up to 3 of the Silkies having broken, bleeding feathers on their feet and the RIRs wouldn't stop pecking at them. We took care of the broken feathers, sprayed them with...

    Aggressive Hens Toward Rooster

    Help! This is kind of urgent. So I have a Rhode Island Red hen who is fully grown, and just raised up 2 Silkies. One Silkie is a rooster and the other is a hen. NOTE: my RIR is very friendly and kind and I’ve never noticed any aggressive behavior from her. I decided to finally merge the two...

    What gender is my Rhode Island Red?

    I got this chicken for my birthday, I’ve had it for almost 3 months now, I’ve had it since it was very little, now that it’s growing everyone says it’s a rooster because of it’s long legs but I’ve watched YouTube videos about their breed and most Rhode Island Red roosters already have their red...

    Is this a Roo or Hen?

    Hi- our chicken has been acting a little strange the past few weeks he or she is the last one in the coop at night and comes in and out often before going to bed. Tonight we heard a different noise come from it right before it flew onto the roof of the coop. Wondering if it's a roo?
