    Brooding and/or Bullying?

    Are the pin less peepers a temporary thing, ie do they eventually stop this behavior? Just wondering if rehoming to a different flock is better for her

    Brooding and/or Bullying?

    Thanks; yes I have 3 birds total and yes they have full access to the run (the area with the fallen flowers-about 350 square feet) during the day. I give them a pre mixed food 16% protein - a mix from my local feed store. And then scraps/treats a couple times a day.

    Brooding and/or Bullying?

    Okay thanks - does she need to be in the run or just close by? I ask because I have a wire crate but if it rains that will get her wet. Do you think her pecking the others is related to her brooding? Hoping that stops with separation.

    Brooding and/or Bullying?

    Bare chicken butt? How to stop another from pecking

    Thanks! I’m hesitant to let them roam all day with the avian flu / we don’t have a fence, but in general it seems like they stay pretty close on our property. I’ll look into expanding their run space.

    Bare chicken butt? How to stop another from pecking

    Could this be losing her tail feathers (about 9 months old) and the other is just interested?

    Bare chicken butt? How to stop another from pecking

    Hello! I am a novice chicken mom with three 8-month old hens-2 of which just started laying last month. One of the egg layers is picking on the other - specifically her butt. At first I thought was mites and checked but didn’t see anything; also cleaned the coop. Then questioned their...
