    How to stop aggressive pecking?

    Thanks for all the help! The other hens are missing a few feathers but not really noticeable without looking closely. Fern only bled a little when I visited them yesterday because Julian got a little to excited, that was the first time she ever bled. I've noticed Fern has started to run away...

    How to stop aggressive pecking?

    We believe its a combination of the two. They are getting Purina Layena Layer Pellets. I can try to get some pictures or draw my setup. (My chickens aren't at my house they live on a different lot)

    How to stop aggressive pecking?

    When should I start chicks on grit? (+ other questions)

    I went to a feed store to get chicks from there. The shed has a window with a screen so natural light and ventilation comes in through there.

    When should I start chicks on grit? (+ other questions)

    So on most packaging of grit for chicks it says not to start them on it until they are 2 weeks old, do they need to have grit before then? Also what supplies will I need for my chicks?
