    Bullying

    Well, update I separated the bully from the rest of the flock yesterday and part of today. When I got home from church, I opened the door to let them out and removed the divider.

    So I have had two barred rock hens for a while. I recently (been a month or so) introduced 4 reds into the flock. One of the rocks terrorizes the reds. The other one could care less. Should I separate the mean old lady? Is this normal? Will it stop on its own? the reds are a little less than...

    New Hampshire Reds

    Ok, so after having a bust this spring with my straight run barred rocks all being roosters, we got some sexed New Hampshire Reds. from tractor supply. I’m pretty new to the chicken world and just seeing what anyone knows/thinks about these chickens. I am mainly interested in eggs

    I didn’t have any trouble with the last 4. I skinned them though. And man, that was first home grown chicken I have ever had and wow what a difference
