    Flock attacked hen

    Do you guys recommend a brand of ointment? To answer a few questions from above: This injured hen was 1 of 6 baby chicks we got back in August. At that time, we already had 3 four month old hens (plus a 4 month old rooster - RIP.) It's these 3 "older" girls who bully the Bielefelder way worse...

    Flock attacked hen

    Today, my Beilefelder (who is last in the pecking order despite being twice the size as every other hen...) was brutally attacked by her flock mates. A huge chunk of her neck was taken out and, to me, looks like it might need stitching. No vet will see her because of the bird flu so I cleaned...

    Limping chicken, not bumble foot

    Rescue hen is starting to look like rooster??

    Thanks for the reply! He has been very protective of the hens and all seems well. EXCEPT lately he crows lit-er-al-ly ALL DAY long. Our neighbors must hate us. From other threads, it sounds like nothing can be done regarding it...

    Rescue hen is starting to look like rooster??

    Holy crap, blah. This is my first time raising chickens and I assume having a cockerel makes everything more complicated? I also have a batch of 6 baby chicks (roughly 7 weeks old) who will eventually enter the coop. I raised these from birth (purchased from a hatchery). I wouldn't want to...

    Rescue hen is starting to look like rooster??

    Hi! New here. Early this fall I adopted 4 hens from a local vegan farm sanctuary. They are very reputable and take wonderfully good care of their animals. When I adopted 4 hens in early Sept. they told me that they did not know their exact age because they were surrendered kindergarten hatches...
