Hello, I've noticed one of my hens is injured she's the only Plymouth rock I have. Earlier she suddenly lay down and my Sussex hen kept pecking her but she wouldn't move which is strange because she usually runs away. So I picked her up for a minute and then let her expecting she would fly down...

Thank you for your replies! My Flock is mixed I have one new Hampshire hen, one Sussex hen and one Plymouth rock hen. Also three Plymouth rock and one Sussex chicks. The Rooster and hens free range around a large garden, I'm now thinking if would it be safe for the silkie to also roam free...

I have a four month old chicken and she keeps attacking me out of no where. Every time I turn my back to her she runs at me and pecks me on the back of the leg. Once time she even left a mark from this. She also clawed at me one before. I have picked her up a few times but she still continues to...

My rooster has been acting up lately. Today when I was feeding bringing water to my chicks in the brooder he ran into the back of my legs. I incubated these chicks and have them in a brooder in a separate shed from the chicken coop. So I don't think it was him protecting the chicks(he never even...

I have an isolation pen that I just built so do you think I should move her to that and put golf balls or fake eggs under her until I collect enough eggs or should I just break the brood?

I have a broody lying on eggs for 28 days now. And I still have no chicks. Only one hatched a few days ago and it was dead when I went in the coop. My have started off with about 5 eggs 28 days ago but none of them have hatched. She started taking more eggs 5 days after going broody up to 2 a...
