Thanks. I have posted here and on craigslist and Facebook. Fingers crossed Thank you all for the help.

Meet Cookie. Cookie came to us from a friend who was not able to keep their two new chickens because they rent their home. We moved the two of them into our flock of 4 year old Hens with ease. Not a single issue. We live in city limits and are only allowed to have 4 by law. We had a neighbor...

So are you saying I can post that I have this Rooster here on BYC? I'm confused. He is not crowing yet at all. Just attaching all the girls. My three 4 year old hens and the one new one I am positive are hens. Cookie the rooster looks so much like my 4 year old Barred Rock I just never...

I just took a bunch a photos to put him on Craigslist. I need to get him out tonight but have to find Cookie a good happy home first. I am worried he will kill one of my girls.

So if he is mating should I discard the eggs. I know nothing about this stuff. My 3 girls are pets and I'm in a neighborhood so I have to get him out ASAP. No idea where to take him?!?! Any help is so appreciated

We took two chickens that some friends were not able to keep. I think they are around 4-5 months old. This one just started becoming very aggressive toward all the other girls. Jumping on their backs and biting their necks. Even my 4 year old chickens twice this ones size. I believe they said...

This is her now

By the way I am open to advice! I have placed her in the yard tonight with the others to get them all out and about. I have never actually seen her being pecked so it must be happening at night. I have a perfect view of the coop just a small distance away from my kitchen window. With three...

I am reaching out in hopes that I can find someone in Colorado that would like to take my favorite little hen. She has had a hard time from day one with this flock. We have 5 different breeds and two are Golden Polish. They are beautiful sweet girls but they get picked on for looking...

Give it time. Our Polish that I spoke about in this tread is a year and a half old now and you would never know that she was injured. She acts just like all the other chickens now. She does get continually pecked at by the others because of her odd feathers but is still healthy and no longer has...

Well they started pecking her again so I brought back inside. I just don't know if she will lay in the house in the brooder. I need to get her backend cleaned and healed enough that she will be able to go back to the coop. I don't want to leave down and have the other chickens kill her. That...

Yah I am actually hoping that maybe she just had an injury that caused the bleeding and not a problem with the egg. Maybe she nicked her bottom or vent on the side of the laying box. Then the other chickens saw all the blood and pecked at her. Either way here is hoping that she lays the next...

WOW great information. I removed the egg about 35 hours ago and she has not been able to lay another yet. The last egg was pretty big but had a very hard shell and I had no trouble slowly pulling it out. She didn't mind at all I just hope she doesn't think I'm removing another one. I noticed...
