    Azalea & Elephant Ears

    Well where do I start. So first off we azalea bushes lining the brick towards the house on the chickens side. So I have read many articles stating that azaleas are toxic to chickens.

    See and the funny thing is, is that the two RIR I have aren’t even at the top of the pecking order, the one I have named chicken nugget which is a ISA Brown is the top chicken

    ***Update*** So I’ve been doing the “Address her before you stress her” giving all eyes on her when I come out and before she even starts to get an attitude I address her. Also been doing the pecking back and it’s actually working slowly, it’s funny when I did do that one of my “regulator”...

    Well now that you mention it, it does seem more like pecking for the goodies or attention cause she isn’t coming hard enough to inflict injury which she very well could if she wanted, she was the smallest chicken out of the four when we got them

    Well she is a very attentive chicken I will say that, and when she attack’s it’s not damaging or hurtful it’s minimal, usually happens and when she does it I gently grab her and hold her till she calms then set her down.
