    rooster trying to kill hen

    Thank you she seems to be healing pretty good the butterfly tape fell off yesterday and she is in with the rest of the flock doing well.

    hen spitting up fluid

    I'm sorry, he had a harem of 16 hens, he is confined to his yard with the other two bullies. We are down to ten hens 7 on one side and 3 in his yard. He was allowed to wander back and forth as the gates to each yard were kept open, our chickens are allowed to roam all three acres. She seems...

    rooster trying to kill hen

    Have a turken roo that has taken a dislike to our hen that broods. She is a black star. The first time she sat he would go after her when she was off the nest so I kept him from her. This time when she went back to the flock he literally pecked all the skin off the top of her head. I...

    hen spitting up fluid

    I have a 3 year old hen (Floppy) that is bottom of the pecking order and the others have not been allowing her to eat. The hens are fed lay pellets and lots of veggies, organic breads with lots of seeds and grains. They have done this to her in the past. I would take her and get her fattened...

    hen found dead

    Think the humidity and heat the last couple of days could have stressed her? I'm going to put out some jugs of frozen water for them to nestle up to if they need to cool down. Am watching the other 6 closely now. Thank you
