    What's the temperature where you are???

    Ripped wattle, blood under eye

    My gold laced Wyandotte had blood under her eye and after looking more closely it looks like one side of her Wattle has ripped - one side is longer than the other. I cleaned the area with warm water and then Hydrogen Peroxide then put Vetricyn on a stop and applied that to the area. The...

    Definitely! I was sad to let them go but like you said- having peace in the flock is a wonderful thing! No stress!

    Just wanted to update on the 4 mean girls. After many weeks of trying to integrate we ended up rehoming them. We just didn’t want to risk the other 10. They are doing great at their new home - they are not at the top of the pecking order there - they stay together and seem like they are liking...

    Polish and houdan getting pecked on the head!

    I have a Polish pullet as well as a mottled houdon - both with crests. They are both being pecked on the head by the other girls - 3 that I know of. They are all the same age - I had this issue with Suzi the Polish girl several weeks ago and I put her crest in a ponytail which covered the area...

    I am definitely worried about the fav and the Polish - they will just sit there and take it — they don’t even try to run. Are Barred Rocks as mean as the RIR?

    We don’t have another coop - just a very large brooder with perches. It doesn’t have a run, it is in the garage so we would still need to transport them back and fourth, but I like the idea of switching them around and adding one at a time. I guess my question is do you think they will integrate...

    We have a covered run 8x20 attached to a partially covered run 9x20. There are several food and watering areas - maybe not enough hiding places. One of them has drawn blood on the Polish hen - it looks like possibly picking feathers in the back of a few. We have left them together for about an...
