    hens pecking at combs, bleeding, comb almost gone!

    While the size of the coop could be a factor(I'm definitely not an expert) I'm thinking it might be only a part, because mine are going after each other's combs and their coop is 3x6, with 24/7 access to the 13'x10' run. I'm thinking it has more to do with the age and new layers and flock...

    My hen is getting pecked severely

    Luckily they're pretty much free range during the day and their coop area is 4x8 feet at night and during bad weather. I'll make sure I let them out earlier from now on. I will separate her out from the others for the day time and find a way to separate her at night until she is healed up

    My hen is getting pecked severely

    My hen is getting pecked pretty badly by the other hens, and now she is bloodied at the base of her tail. What can I put on it and how do I keep the other hens from continuing this. She's the only one getting pecked.

    Favorite thing YOUR chickens do!

    I love when the girls play "chicken hockey", bouncing off of each other trying to get at a flying insect of some sort or when they play Keep away with some tasty morsel~

    When will my hens start laying?

    mine are about 18 weeks at this point, so can I assume they'll be laying by the end of August? *hopeful grin*

    When will my hens start laying?

    I've been told that some can lay as early as 18 weeks, but that most lay later and that some wait a long time. What is the average age range of laying onset?
