    A Hawk Is Killing Our Chickens. What should I do?

    I haven't lost any since I got a good rooster! I have 2 roosters and 13 hens, which is a higher ratio than most people would say to have. But the one rooster is a silkie and he's Near the bottom of the pecking order, even with the hens.

    Help with mixed breed identificaiton- Hatched my own chicks (heavy on the pics)

    Thank you! That was super helpful! I don't know any of that stuff! There are 12 chicks but these were the ones that looked like they could be a cockerel. The other ones I'm more sure are pullets even though last time I thought one was a pullet it was Willie!

    They are 8 weeks old. And yes they are the only roosters. Johnny had a preference for the other silkies so I didn't put many of those eggs under since I don't really want more. But there's one little black that's all silkie. I'm sad the black on is a cockerel! I love my australorp! What do...

    There are two of what ever this one is that are twins. I think they are probably both roosters.

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    I never did put her back in after I was going to in my last post. She just looked so scared when she was in there. If any of the others even got near her she would run and put her head in the corner. So she's been out in the tractor with one other hen that is nice to her. Until the other day...

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    She is definitely in a new place of the pecking order now. They pick on her enough that she's still missing all the feathers on the back of her head and part of her back. She spends most of the day on the roost and when I let them out, she quickly separates herself from the rest and stays alone...

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    She's not quite better yet. She was fine in the tractor with her 2 friends, even though they still pecked her head enough that there was a little bald spot. But she was eating and everything. So i put them all back in the coop and the rooster still picks on her. She's hanging in there though so...

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    she's been out in the chicken tractor with 2 other hens that were from her cohort for a week and been doing just fine. No signs of being scared or anything. Should I try to put all three of them back in the coop now?

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    No she isn't injured. She had a few feathers missing and did have some scratches but nothing major. She is in with the rest of the flock now and has been for the past 6 days. But they're still presumably picking on her enough that she flees up to the roost all day. I can't take the roost out...

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    So my poor orphington is still not functional yet. She stays on the roost all the time. I had to rig up something to get her food and water. What do I do?

    Chicken PTSD after hawk attack

    Ack! I just shooed her over to where all the other chickens are and one hen ran at her then my super awesome rooster attacked her by jumping on her and pulling out a few pecks of neck feathers then chased her off. Which is what they were doing to her 2 weeks ago to make me take her away from...
