Also would you recommend keeping the bully seperate, or the chicks?
Currently 2 existing hens, rooster and the two chicks all happy and bully caged separately
I put them in a large dog crate in the pen for a week (so they could be seen but not touched).
I then swapped the “bully” into the crate as the other hen and rooster accepted them back into the flock
Help! Any suggestions on how to deal with a chicken bully?
We had a flock of 4 (3 hens and a roo).
One of our hens went broody so we let her hatch two chicks (eggs from bully hen) , and kept them seperate in a crate with surrogate mum.
At 8 weeks we introduced the crate to the chicken area...
How interesting!!! Thank you! I thought the whiter chick might be a rooster with the reddening comb but was holding hope (mum was identified as a rooster too when she was a chick but ended up being a hen)
We recently hatched our first two chicks (dad is a silkie and mum is a leghornx). Would love some opinions on the gender of peanut (6weeks - brown) and butter (5weeks-white).
Thanks !
Hi, we purchased this day old as a Isa hen. 5 weeks now and isn’t looking like an isa hen- hoping it is incorrect breed not sex as my daughter has bonded with this one! Thanks!
