    New roo with two hens, won't come out of the coop (2 weeks)!

    Thanks! "Roy" doesn't pay any attention to the new guy or his hens. He just manages his 11 girls. Should I put them outside? The run has a back yard and a front yard.

    New roo with two hens, won't come out of the coop (2 weeks)!

    They won't hang with the other roo and his girls. They don't fight or anything. In fact they will even roost next to the others. As soon as I open the pop up door, all my original chickens and roo, go outside. Then the other roo and his girls jump down from the roost, and eat like they are...

    chicken losing weight, help!

    One bald hen and others missing lotsa feathers!

    Hey guys, I had been trying to get my husband to say, "BYEBYE" to the rooster. Yesterday, he saw for himself how mean he was to the girls and sent him to rooster heaven! I am so glad! I expect to see more eggs soon and less feathers gone from the girlies too! Thanks for the advice!
