    Two bullies.... should I give away?

    Other chickens are afraid to even go near them, and hesitate to in the coop at night. And they drop down to submit, but still get repeatedly pecked. I see a lot of bruised and scabbed combs.

    Two bullies.... should I give away?

    I’m sorry. All birds are 2 years old, and have been together since day 2. They have plenty of room, 8x8x8 coop, inside a horse stable, and an inside run 12x24. They is a lot distractions. Bails of straw, a large swing, perches, big ladders, dust bathes. But these two just seem to go after...

    Two bullies.... should I give away?

    I have 11 total chickens. Six Buff Orpingtons and 5 Gold Laced Wyandotte’s. Two of the Wyandotte’s are jerks. They appear to be #2 and #3 in the pecking order. They go out their way to peck the lower chickens, apparently for no reason at all. The reason why I’m posting is that I know a guy who...

    No there are no windows. there are four doors that I leave open weather permitting... and three huge tractor doors, that I leave one open weather permitting. But weather permitting, they are outside in a 25x75 open grass run. We have about three feet of snow right now. Should I leave doors open...

    Not really during this time of year, unfortunately ... when it’s in the 20’s I’ll open a door by their run. It’s 9 degrees out right now, but 18 degrees inside the stable.

    No, she seems very healthy. The coop is actually inside of a horse stable (no horses). The coop measurements are 8x8x8. They have an indoor run that measures approximately 12x12. They spend almost all day in the run. At night when they go in the coop, I’ll usually toss them some microwaved...

    I have 11 girls; 6 buff orpingtons and 5 gold laced wyandots. They will be two years old this month. Speckles is a buff Orpington. She is definitely toward or at the bottom of the pecking order. She’s the sweetest thing. I don’t know what brought this on, however early this week, I found several...

    I have a mix of Buff Orpingtons and Gold Laced Wyandottes; 11 girls total. So my chickens are only laying 2-4 eggs a day on average.... which is fine, they need a break. It’s 5* out right now!!! My question is, do I continue with layer feed, or do I switch to non-layer feed? They have OSC on...
