    Integrated flock aggression- help!!

    Hello- I’ve had backyard chickens going on about 8 years now. I’ve got 3 different ages of hens (no roosters) in my flock but the last integration I did was about 2 or 3 years ago so nothing has really changed with my girls.

    Flock agression

    Hello- I’ve had backyard chickens going on about 8 years now. I’ve got 3 different ages in my flock but the last integration I did was about 2 or 3 years ago so nothing has really changed with my girls.

    HELP! Should I separate this day old chick from the others?

    Sadly the tiny one died last night... I don’t think she was ever long for this world... but this was a good learning experience. Lots of notes for the future

    HELP! Should I separate this day old chick from the others?

    ok thank you all so much! I just wanted to make sure it wasn't exhibiting symptoms of some disease I didn't know about before trying to nurse it through.

    HELP! Should I separate this day old chick from the others?

    Hi, So I got a shipment from Cackle this morning. This is my third batch so I know a little of what to expect but- that being said none of my crews has behaved like the others so far. Anyway- I had 5 easter eggers in the crate 1 DOA which honestly didn't surprise me it was FREEZING in the post...

    White leghorn hen or rooster??

    Hello all, I've never had leghorns before and am incredibly suspicious that this 15 week old might be a rooster. I have 2 and the other one has barely a comb at all and isn't even close to this red. I don't see any sickle feathers on his tail but possibly some are starting at the base? This one...
