    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    I mentioned to my husband that we needed to put some roosting bars higher up for them. And I wanted to remove the ladder and the shelf below the nesting boxes. But we definitely need to do some work in the run. I can see that now.

    Wow! That looks like an incredible run for the birds! Out of curiosity what is it that you have laid over the top of it? How many hens do you have?

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    Yeah when I saw her yesterday she was bleeding from the being pecked at. I think we may just keep the bullies inside the coop and the others outside for now for temporary until we get something else figured out.

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    Thanks for your response and your welcoming! The black spots were what I was concerned about whether they were pox or scabs - but she seems to be healthy otherwise. And I haven’t seen any white or yellow spots either. Now some of the other birds are pecking her too, but I don’t know if that’s...

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    Thank you! I was considering using our dog kennel or something similar. Maybe that would work but I think it’s too big.

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    They tend to roost in the nesting boxes and around the boxes as they aware on a shelf. Thankfully they have done fine with roosting at night. Although today I watched as the hen pictured was in the nesting box and one hen came up and started to peck at her. She pecked back and they were fighting...

    They have a run for the daytime and we sometimes let them out to range if we’re outside

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    I’ve read the best thing to do is isolate the ones doing the bullying but it seems to be 2 of them for sure, but possibly 3. What do people do? I only have one coop.

    Is my chicken sick or just being bullied?

    My bird has been being bullied by at first one of the chickens and now I’m noticing some of the other birds are doing it too. She is basically isolated and runs away from them when they come near her now. At first I thought she was being bullied but now I wonder if maybe she’s just sick? They’re...
