    What is happening here?

    Thanks a bunch y'all. That thought finally occurred to me after racking my brain yesterday. Fingers crossed some added oyster shells will help resolve our issue.

    Help! Chicks pecking excessively?

    I have 3 Easter eggers and 3 cream legbar chicks, all almost 2 weeks old now. For about a week I have noticed pecking behavior that has troubled me and I have made all attempts to improve the situation besides separating the chicks. It seems the legbars are semi obsessed with pecking at the...
