    Still having issues establishing a pecking order. I at first tried letting one chicken in with Banessa (new bird) and Banessa ruthlessly chased her. I said ok lemme do two give my Original bird a friend...banessa chased BOTH. Then I got angry and said ok here is number 3 and banessa said thats...

    Well…I introduced her to two birds today and needless to say I don’t think she’s gunna get bullied but instead be the bully. 😂😑

    No eggs

    I wonder if i should just go ahead and slowly start introductions with my flock of 4 one at a time then? If this is the case would integrating her would make her feel safer maybe??? As stated previously she is separated by hardware cloth and a door, so they can see each other but not get to each...

    Well I can say as of today she seems...calmer? She slept in the run last night on the chicken ladder i built and same again tonight. Im beginning to think that even the handling her and bringing her from the run to her quarantine at the end of the day was adding to her stress. She was never...

    Ahhh good to know! No molting though. I’m under the impression it’s just stress. She seems a bit calmer today though after a night outside

    No molting yet. Why do you ask? She slept outside last night first time and did fine. Occasionally I’d check the camera to see one eye open.

    No eggs

    She’s two years old and yes she was laying for previous owners but they didn’t give her nest boxes so they just laid anywhere. Yea I was highly doubting egg bound as well especially for how long. To be fair her quarantine was in my garage which was only lit by window light and minimal lighting...

    Sorry if this is long winded lol wanted to include as much info as possible. Tonight’s our first warm stint of nights as well with it being in the mid 50’s so I was planning on letting her sleep outside in the run which I have full confidence is secure enough.

    So I’ve had her for about 40 days. 27 of those days being in quarantine. After quarantine she began being brought out every morning and kept in the seperate run that’s attached to the other part so the flock can see her but not get to her. I’m just worried she hasn’t laid a single egg. She...

    A rescue

    One of our birds had to be taken out in December because she was molting and was being bullied. I just finally got her out of my basement and back living with her sisters. I had them seperated for WEEKS and when they seemed calm enough I reintroduced them but they immediately started bullying...

    A rescue

    Shes SUPER pretty! I thought my barred rocks were beautiful (and they are lol) but the colors on this girl are so captivating. Ive only had my 4 barred rocks for the last two years and never thought about more because the amount of eggs we get for 3 people is more than enough, but I just...

    A rescue

    Her name is "Banessa" lol. The little girl whose family owned the chickens named them and i promised id keep the name and take plenty of pictures. She was heartbroken but they weren't going to get anymore chickens until next year so this was the best option.

    A rescue

    So a friends chickens got demolished by something (thinking racoon). All but one made it through and the wife and I decided to rescue her. So now she’s in quarantine city in the dog crate in my garage. She seems wary of people but she also seems extremely docile and chill. She will eventually be...

    Paint?

    Yea I don’t think they are going to make that easy at all especially by myself.

    Paint?

    So I’ve had these chickens for a few years now. I’ve learned from my mistakes…like putting bands on them when they are babies so I can tell them apart down the road lol. I’ve had a chicken I’ve been trying to get back in with the rest of her flock who was molting then got bullied, long story...
