    Two hens are beating up on one hen. Help!

    Btw, is there a cause for this sudden behaviour? If so what is it so I can try to avoid it in the future? This really seemed to go beyond henpecking to establish a pecking order.

    Two hens are beating up on one hen. Help!

    Ok. I will take the two bullies out of the flock for now. Should I keep those two also seperate from eachother?

    Two hens are beating up on one hen. Help!

    I have five hens that I got three years ago all as chicks. Never any problems but three days ago two of my hens have started to relentlessly beat on one of my other hens. It has gotten so bad I have had to patch up her comb several times. They have drawn blood and the poor hen is petrified to...

    Hello ccar, Thank you for the welcome :) Litlerock might be a bit too far away for us. So far we have not found anyone yet willing to take him :( But we will keep hoping. If we cannot find anyone would you be willing to take him?

    High Desert, California!!

    Oh my! I understand your pain. I had two sunstrokes in the last 5 years. The last one was the worst where I actually passed out in front of my family. My husband caught me before I hit the ground but it sure scared the dickens out of us. Since then I renamed this town *ell city. But yeah, all...

    High Desert, California!!

    Hello Deb, thank you for the welcome :) For now we are looking at one maybe two years before we move. I have to say though I wish we moved yesterday. I've lived here now almost 20 years and the heat is doing a number on me. Anyway, when we notified our neighbors they had no problems with...

    Is this a rooster?

    How can I go about finding a suitable place for his rooster? Is there anyone on this forum that would be willing to do some sort of foster maybe? I rather see him go where he will be loved and maybe where my son can visit him now and then.

    Is this a rooster?

    Ah man! It SUCKS being the bearer of bad news. My son is in tears. My youngest son (9) told him he'd give him his pullet. The last one in the album grouping. How sweet is he? I am all chocked up about it. I think the best bet is to find someone close to us that would be willing to make a foster...

    Is this a rooster?

    Thank you so much for looking. I live in a area where roosters are not allowed eventhough I can hear one in the distance. Before we bought our chickens we notified our neighbors and they made it clear roosters would not be appreciated. We are looking to move to a more rural area but that could...

    Is this a rooster?

    Hello, I was hoping someone could please help me. My son (12) has a chicken that he loves dearly. They even do homework together! :D The chicken is almost two months old and an Easter Egger. My worry is if it is a rooster. My son already had to give up one cockerel, and this one well I know he...
