I have been asking for help advice for weeks. I had a brooding hen and gave her 4 babies. They have been in the coop and sleeping hut with the other chickens separated my mesh. The babies are 11 weeks old and I am trying to integrating the flock back together. Everytime I put the broody mom...
No. She was in the group egg box. She was hoarding all the eggs. No Roosters so I had to get 4 babies and trick her, which worked. But the babies have been in a cage inside the hut since day 1. Thank you for replying. So anxious. Leghorn is my best layer but can't watch hens fight to hurt...
Hi
I know your thread is old, but I hope you get this and reply. I agree with everything you have said. I have done everything you have suggested. However, I have a white Leghorn older hen which her and the mama start fighting like a cock fight! Scare the beegeebees out of me. IT has...
I have a White Leghorn female great laying egg chicken, but now she is fighting with a new mama hen and her 10 week old babies like rooster cock fights. IT scares the crap out of me. I am scared they will kill each other. Help?
Hello Leghorn people, need HELP.
I have a white female maybe 4 yrs old. She keeps attacking my 4 yr old Barred Rocker mama. They fight like rooster cocks. She was a brooding mama, I added 4 babies they are 10 weeks old and I am trying to reintroduce the mama and babies to flock of 1 Leghorn...
Thank you very much. I divided the sleeping hut in half with a wire mesh fence so the Leghorn and Aricana could see and sleep with the Barred rockers and now 10 week old babies.
I have tried reintroducing them into the huge free range area this is 20' x 40' area. The Leghorn and Mama fight...
Thank you. I don't think she was protecting her chicks, maybe but the chicks were far off in a separate cage when this happened. I've now hear Leghorn hens think they are the roosters protecting flock and dominating. I may have to put her in a cage. She is out of control.
I think she is...
Hi, I have a barred rocker hen raising 4 foster babies (no rooster) she took them beautifully and they are in a small cage inside my sleeping/laying hut. So everyone can see each other and get to know each other.
Last week I let the mom and babies into the big yard with 1 barred rocker, 1...
Hello,
Did you ever find out what was wrong with your chicken. Mine is doing the same thing. It was after a heatwave of 110 degrees. She has not laid in 9 days. she keeps to herself. slept all day she is about 2 years old. :(
Thank you
I have grown star jasmine around my chicken coop fences for 20 years and never had a problem. I love that vine, ever green, non root invasive, drought tolerant and gorgeous.
I have pink Jasmine growing up my pen fence. The Chickens don't really bother with it. It vines tall instead of wide, so it may be too high for them to eat. My other pen had star jasmine all around the exterior fence and they all lived fine. ??? I have had chickens for 20 year around...
