    Aggressive one! Help!

    Try using a bumpa bit or metal bit on the beak of the offending bird. This will stop her from pecking feathers from the others and may put her lower on the pecking order because of her appearance.

    I need your help now!

    I hope she comes back. One of my chickens ran away a couple days ago as well. She got spooked by a dog attack and we haven't been able to find her. In the future, when feeding the chickens treats try using some sort of noise like the shaking of food in a can, (they will be trained to come...

    Can't tell

    Hmm.. molting usually starts around the neck and works it's way down to the back and rump. This seems a bit different. Have you seen any of the other chickens pecking her? Feather pecking can start because of boredom, and nutrient deficiency. (We have been dealing with feather pecking). If so...

    Chicken Missing Lost by Attack, Hour 49 We love free ranging our chickens, but one day a stray sausage dog attacked them. Our chickens are about one year old. Luckily we scared away the sausage dog, but she injured Chickiepop, making a gash right above her tail and a couple marks under her...
