Hello all. I have a broody I am very proud of because she is doing such a great job sittig on her two eggs. But she is the BOTTOM of the pecking order. When she goes out for her daily poops/feed/water my other 5 hens all BULLY her. She puffs up and vocalizes, but she’s never been one to defend...

Thank you very much! This was very helpful!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Hello all! I have a friend who has two cockatiels and one parakeet that live together that he is trying to rehome. I was thinking I could just let them fly free and live in my chicken run. My run is well enclosed that they would not be able to escape, and its big enough that they would have so...

I actually let them hash it out today. I finally broke it up when one of my mommas had clearly had enough. That hen now seems depressed. Staying far away from the rest of the flock with her baby and just sitting. Not walking around doing normal chicken business. Is this normal after a fight? Im...

They keep trying to fight. At this point im only letting them out (all together) when i am there to break up any fights.

Thank you for that. I will try to leave them together as much as i can. Do i just let them duke it out?

Its only been a week, but im starting to get nervous about my moms. I let one mom out with her babies for an hour (with the rest of the flock), then i put them away and let another mom out with her baby for an hour, and i repeat with the last mom and baby. Everyone is getting along great when i...

Thank you so much!!!!

Yes, they can see each other. Each momma has her own little wire run inside the main run. When i let my flock out to range in the yard, I let each momma with baby out of their mini run into the main run to get a little more room. I give each momma with baby about an hour and then i rotate with...

Hello all! I need some advice. I have three broody hens all have 1-2 babies. How do I integrate them with each other? And how do I integrate them with the rest of the flock? I can already tell by some behavior (everyone is separated but can see), that there will be some fighting going down, and...

I kept them in jail for 72 hours. How did yours turn out?

Each momma with egg is in their own individual crate. Once hatch happens, i’ll let them out to range one pair at a time until i can slowly let them all out together. Im so nervous tho!!!

I put them in jail, i gave them baths, and they would snap out of it for a little bit, then right back to broody! I plan on rehoming momma with baby as a pair. I’ll probably rehome 3 sets.
