    Comment by 'fatchic' in article 'Bullying Behavior in Chickens'

    I have a golden sexlink(Daphne) that bullies my 2 Americaunas (Eva and Pricilla). They are all out free ranging minding their own business and Daphne will just peck at one of them. She pulled 8 feathers out this morning. I notice when she's bullying them they make a painful cry out.. it's so sad...

    I started to do a clear roof, but it wasn't as sturdy as the tin/metal.. we have hail frequently and I was afraid it could break it easier.

    We are in Texas and in a neighborhood in town. I don't have much rodent problem.. I did go around the entire inside top to bottom with chicken wire. I have a few areas that are open if we had rodents it could get in.. but if that becomes a problem I will chicken wire it too..

    Build a coop from pallets

    I loved our coop from the local farm store.. but it just wasn't big enough. I decided I needed to make my own. It's 25 feet long and 8 ft wide. I used pallets. I set a $250 budget. I spent most of it in roofing and door.

    Worried about my chicken

    I have a chicken who started acting different. She now just lays down and sleeps any where in the middle of the yard. She keeps her left eye closed while walking around. She just started closing this eye about 2 days. Please advice
