    Reintroducing a chicken

    I have what I think is a similar situation, though no one has been pulled out yet. I have one hen who isolated herself to the nesting box about a week ago. After a few days, I thought she might be brooding, so I made her come out. As soon as her talons hit the dirt, another hen came at her...

    Cooped up aggression?

    Thank you all so much for your prompt and detailed responses. I’m going to try some “clutter” as we seem to have all the other requirements covered. My next question is, at what point do I consider secluding her? And, if I do this, is it permanent? Thanks again!,

    Cooped up aggression?

    here’s the run, the coop is beyond it at the back of this photo. As far as “clutter” no, not much entertainment, which may be contributing. I do recall, now that it was mentioned, that there is a recommendation for space/hen. I’ll go find that and make sure we are in the ballpark. We are...

    Here are some okay photos. They aren’t crazy about getting their picture taken, or maybe it’s just me getting close to them. I’m pretty sure the dark brown is a leghorn, but unclear about the others. still waiting for eggs, and based on what I e read here it will probably be another week or so...

    New around here

    Never had chickens before. We now have 3 hens and they’ve been with us for 3 weeks. Our chickens are Tan, white and dark brown. Honestly, the told us what breeds they are, but we don’t remember. So far, we enjoy watching the chickens explore our yard and are looking forward to our first eggs. In...
