    A broody Hen and a Bully

    Thank you for the suggestions! She is eating and drinking normally during the day, I blocked off the nesting boxes at night, as she wants to be in them so I have kind of forced her to roost at night. I will check for mites and lice. I haven't check her crop but will do that, is it best to...

    A broody Hen and a Bully

    Hello Everyone, I have a broody Columbia Wyandotte, I have been putting her in chicken 'jail' during the day in the run for two days now, i.e. in a dog cage with a hardware wire floor slightly elevated with food and drink. Normally I would leave here there 24x7 but it's been cold down to the...

    Roosting bar configuration to reduce pecking?

    Molting or something else?

    Hi, I am having a similar issue. Can you recommend a good picking spray? I was also considering a chicken saddle but not sure if that might actually cause more harm for keeping her warm in the winter? Thanks!

    pecking issue

    Hi all, just popping on this thread to see if anyone has ever tried or used the Pick No More for backs and feathers? I have two girls who are having their feathers pecked this winter and it's getting down to their down layer. I was considering a chicken saddle but don't want to impede their...
