How to heal an injured chicken due to bullying in a coop
My Rhode Island’s have been a nightmare since I introduced 3 new birds. What is triple antibiotic ointment? Like Sudocreme or something? The big Rhode girl was brutally attacking the other Rhodey. Now I’ve separated her and the other red girl is pecking all the girls necks and bums!- Tim Stratton

White eye totally covered. Please help
I just let my chooks out this morning and I noticed the little one didn't come out. When I opened up and checked the nest boxes this little guy has this on his eye! What can I do to help him/fix the problem? Many thanks- Tim Stratton

Tuna for breakfast?
I'm giving my girls tuna in once a week for breakfast, is this acceptable? I've given them cabbage, cut strawberries and other veg and they don't seem interested! Any ideas why? I've been told by friends that chickens will eat anything!!! My big girls are about 13 weeks old.- Tim Stratton

What breed and sex are my chooks?
The 4 bigger ones are about 10 weeks old and the 2 little ones about 6 weeks. I had a feeling there might be a boy in there! Will having 2 roosters bring me problems?! Thank you- Tim Stratton

What breed and sex are my chooks?
Hopefully they're all hens but we have room for everyone! They are a gift from a friend and she says they are hens but I wanted to check! Many thanks- Tim Stratton

UK Member Please Say HI
Hello everyone! My and my partner live off grid in The Forest of Dean, in Gloucester UK. 3 weeks ago we received 4x8 week old chicks as a gift from a friend. Yesterday we also received 2x5-6 week old Peking Bantams, along with a chicken house. We've made a run using old Portakabin window guards...- Tim Stratton
