    Chicken Dunce

    Freaked them out a lot! Definitely simmering down. Meanie boy is avoiding me, and he still seems to have it out for three hens in particular. But my sweetest girl jumped in my lap to give me all the gossip this morning.

    Bah...phone locked up, so I screenshotted the reply. Sorry, hope it's readable. :(

    Same Birds + New Coop =Third World War

    Too cool... thanks a million. :D Everyone seemed to go back to being good kids yesterday afternoon. No more feather pulling, egg count was exact, and I went in without incident. 24 birds, I picked up and moved, one at a time. No issues. (Beginner's luck, I guess, that I have a really neat...

    Awesome! Thanks! I always have pig problems! lol But that's my true passion, so if there's a hair out of place, it's a problem. Birds are quickly beginning to come in a close second, though. I just don't understand their behavior enough to comfortably enjoy them yet. Always stressed and...

    Thanks, I luff him. He's so mellow, (was!), I thought it was a hen until a month or so ago. They are nice birds. Not knowing what I wanted to raise, I brought home buff orps, black australorps, RIR's, SLW's, amberlinks, isa browns, seramas, and barred rocks. The buffs are a favorite, second...

    I think he finally got tired.

    And thanks, bobbi-j. There's never really been big change, so I wasn't prepared for the explosion that ensued. Lesson learned.

    Same Birds + New Coop =Third World War

    Lozuufy, you're my people! lol Thanks. The only funny in all of this, is the little Serama rooster is working his tail off to keep the peace. BuffOrp roo goes on the attack, (yup, tons of feather pulling and general ugliness), and after a minute or two, the bantee rattles his chain and it...

    Hi and thanks! Today's burning issue is turmoil in a new coop. I posted in flock management, it's been so weird. :/ Nice birds turned nasty, nasty birds got quiet, and no one's following the rules. Same birds, giant new coop, and they're being unappreciative poops. But alas, they're...

    Same Birds + New Coop =Third World War

    Thanks. :) Frankly, I think I've jumped the gun; just back from checking on them, and they seem to be relaxing a bit. My shock factor was the big walking Prosac of a rooster turning nasty towards his girls. Not sure what that's all about? As far as separating aggressive ones, I could, but...

    Chicken Dunce

    Morning from chilly, windy Ohio. I'm seven months into chickens, after two years of trying to prepare and educate myself. What I've learned? I'd been better off building a coop with all the chicken books instead of reading them. Nothing beats jumping in full and just start grubbing around...

    Newbie here out of desperation. Spent gobs of time and money on a giant new coop. Moved everyone in yesterday, tickled to death, and the birds have lost their fool minds. I feel completely ignorant when I thought I was on top of my game. No new birds, and everyone's been together since day...
