    Minorcan with attitude being ostrazied

    OK, she's pecked. I have not seen them do it, but her comb is half torn off and she's nearly bald on the back of her neck :-( Is there something I can do?

    Minorcan with attitude being ostrazied

    My buff minorcan has always had an attitude problem and I have seen roo upset with her stubborn ways. Now, however, he will not allow her to eat with the other hens and she distances herself from the others. They seem content to just leave her alone tho, not pecking at her or anything. I am...

    What would try to pull my hen's head off?

    Wondering about Breed and age

    This handsome fellow showed up one morning atop the coop and adopted our girls. He's been here every since. He is calm, tame and seems young, but I have no idea! I'm new to this chicken thing, but I do love mine! Can anyone identify a specific breed? Any idea how old he is? Thanks in advance for...
