    Is this an injury or something else?

    Thank you very much. That is very reassuring.

    Is this an injury or something else?

    When I checked on my chickens, this is what I found. She has had difficulty regrowing feathers since a rooster attacked her (he has been re-homed). She started molting again lately and seemed to be regrowing some feathers. This what I found today. Is this a disease? Is it molting? Or is another...

    Hen attacked in pecking party

    Unfortunately, Olga just didn't have the strength to survive and died this evening from her injuries. I'll have to bury her in the morning. Olga was isolated in my office since the attack. Should I let the rest of the flock see that she has passed or is it best if they don't and just move on?

    Hen attacked in pecking party

Last night or this morning, he went at her (I think he was then joined by my other hens), and now she has large chunk of skin that has been ripped off from the back of her neck. I've tried to...

    Hi everyone. I have a flock of four hens and a rooster. Unfortunately, my rooster is going to have to be re-homed because he is too big for the hens and has been abusive. I live in the California High Desert area.
