    Aggression toward recently introduced chickens

    The squirt bottle is a great idea, although I may have to squirt most of the hens since many of them pick on those 2 newer ones. The girls get about 2-3 hours to free range in our yard and they multiple feeders and waterers, but this doesn't happen at feeding time or when out and about - they're...

    Thank you for the thoughts - They definitely are eating a good diet and have enough room in the coop. I will keep in mind the pinless peepers - never heard of them until now.

    Aggression toward recently introduced chickens

    Well over 1 year ago I introduced 2 new pullets to my flock of 6. They were both similarly aged to all of mine (about 7 months at the time). The introduction didn't go very well and I admit I didn't do a great job of gradually getting them used to one another, which is why the 2 newbies got...

    Chick Brooder question.

    Hi all, My wife and I are planning on raising chicks for the first time. We intend to get 6, day-old chicks (i.e., Orpington; Barred Rock; & Sussex) at some point in April. We've identified the coop/run that we'll have built for them when they're ready to go outside, but we're struggling with...
