    Quote: I know! I was not happy! A molt...I cant laugh! I would have had no idea...We have had no molts and I would have done the same thing. I didnt know they could lose so many feathers so fast. I thought it would be a gradual thing. Good information though. I will know now to avoid...

    fighting chicks

    Maybe someone can help me I hatched 10 eggs and nine survived. The chicks are 7 weeks old. The momma hen wanted to go back to the large flock and Saturday she stayed with the large flock instead of sleeping with the chickies as she had been. The chicken yards are side by side and I can make...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    My fear of leaving them with the larger flock was...the fist hatch, the momma hen abandoned them too early, she went up on the roost when she should have been sitting on them....One froze trying to sit with her on the roost, the rooster let the other under his wing, that is what saved the hen I...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    is it possible they are just, rather aggressively, establishing who will be the dominant rooster and once they work it out, they will be OK?? Or should I just separate them now. I will make a little yard in the back of the LF coop and let them adjust slowly, however, should I include the two...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    So, should I just take all the littles to the other coop/yard. They have a roost there and nesting boxes for them to hide/nest in. I was just afraid to let them in with the beg chickens so soon, like I mentioned the mom has only been away for 4 days. Will she still help them get used to the...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    Are you suggesting i put them in a smaller space? His only saving grace right now is the large yard he can run away, hide, hide in the coop, hide in the hay, hide under the little shade table I would be afraid to keep them in a small pen like that. When the other roo sees him he charges. lol...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    But I'm watching the bigger roo chase the other roo around and peck him over and over. . He wont let him heat, totally dominating him....I had no idea something like this couldhappen at this age. The bigger roo has blood on his face and the other roo has large peck holes in his back, he does...

    7 week old fighting roosters

    The Mom has only been apart from them since Saturday. So 4 days. The two yards are side by side and only separated by a 3 foot walkway and it is wire fencing so they can see each other. The two flocks can see each other but there is no way one of the big chickens can get to them. They are 7...
