Thank you so much for your answer!! I have been trying to thoroughly research this as well and I really didn’t find anything that said we could never eat her eggs again! I’m so glad you agree as well!
A few months ago I took in my Charlie to the vet because my bully chickens had attacked her so bad that her backside was all ripped up. The doctor gave us clavamox and some creams and another by mouth medicine. She told us that once antibiotics were given to a chicken we could never ever eat her...
Should I remove her completely into another makeshift coop or just put her in the kennel inside the original coop? Thank you so much for your advice! I inherited these babies but I'm already in love.
2 1 year old birds in original flock and introducing 2 2 year old birds. The run is about 9-10feet wide and 3-4 feet across. It's also about 8 feet high. The coop is about half that the new birds won't go near it though. I did visual introductions with 2 runs next to each other for over a week...
Are bantams known to be aggressive towards other hens? I tried to integrate the two that look like mixes in with the first two. Did the whole visual introduction for a week and then put them together and the one that seems to be a bantam bullied the white one to the point she drew a bit of blood...

Hi! I inherited 4 chickens with my new home. Two small ones in the big coop and then my two larger ones in their own. I've read a ton on integrating them and I had them in pens next to each other to visually introduce for a week. I just added the four together this morning. The two smaller ones...
Thank you so much for all of your help. I am setting up their coop soon to get them closer to introduce them. I do have another question now though. I am sorry! The roosters got taken to another home today but the guy that took them told me they look very sad tonight. And now I feel awful...
Hi my name is Sara and I just purchased a home where they had backyard chickens which I adopted into my family. One coop of 4, 2 small looking hens and 2 roosters. And 1 coop of 2 fat fluffy hens. The previous owners said that they were separated because they fought. Their coops were gross and...
