    Chicoletta is not top bird. Henrietta is. Henrietta does what she can to protect Waffles but she’s not always there. When she’s not… The bigger coop is in process. DH got very very ill and was knocked out of the game for two months so we had to use the small coop. However, my dork self… 6x8=48...

    And oh yes. SF is the one with issues. We have been able to rule out vision as we’ve observed her. There is definitely cognitive issue. In general the other chickens are helpful and very kind with her. It is amazing to watch. Do you think that has something to do with this attack. Note…...

    Help, Bullying..

    Thank you. I have many books and frequent BYC but it’s certainly not the same as living it, if you know what I mean? I really appreciate that I can come here and speak with others. There is something more to it than reading it. And everything I read kept going back to space issues. Thank you all...

    Help, Bullying..

    Thank you. I really appreciate it. That’s what we were guessing we should try but I really needed someone to confirm that it would be the correct course of action. I hadn’t thought about hormones being a driving force either. It makes sense but although we’ve always had farm type animals we’ve...

    Help, Bullying..

    Hi! I could use some help. I know there have been other posts on this topic but I really wanted some perspective. Our flock is 14, mixed breeds which have all been together since they were just days old. They are 18 weeks old and all sweet and kind and lovable and each and every one of them is...

    Behavior that might be a disability?

    Thank you! Yes she does react to both. Still I wonder if she sees only enough to see an object and/or have some reactivity to light. She does turn ina circle during her confused state.

    Behavior that might be a disability?

    Hi! Thanks everyone for your input. I can certainly try to get a video of her behavior. We have watched her critically and extensively and although limited vision might be an issue I’m not seeing any significant signs of it. She does not run into fences or bump into other difficult to see...

    Introduction and thank you!

    Thank you so much for your warm welcome. All4Eggs, you asked about photos, the most recent I have are from last week as we all came down with the flu and no one felt like taking photos this week. I will post a few, not terribly good ones, here. :)

    Behavior that might be a disability?

    Hi! I just introduced myself but I also wanted to ask for some guidance with one of our chicks. I hope this is the correct place to do this… We have a 6 week Favorelle that doesn’t seem to be quite right. We love her to death but we wondered if anyone had experienced this type of thing and if...
