    Four (6-week old) chicks peck at one chick (Please, help)

    Thank you dear, I did the same, I bought a spray which cures the wound and changes the color red to black just like her feathers. But still they attack her. I don't know what to do actually.

    Thank you dear for your reply. No, she healed very well once I let her back to the coop. I don't know the reason.

    Four (6-week old) chicks peck at one chick (Please, help)

    Dears all, I have 5 (six-week old) chicks. They acted normal from the hatch until 3 days ago. On Monday morning, when I checked the coop, I found one black chick with blood on her face and head.

    I’m new to chickens. I think I messed up help

    They will be fine if you take care of them in terms of fresh water, weather, good quality food and well-organized coop. I personally never had my chicks and hens vaccinated, yet non of them got ill.

    Mom pecking at chicks, please help (with photo)

    Thank you dear for your reply. I appreciate it. Do you think that she will be able to cope with them once they grow enough after a couple of weeks for example? Or she should be separated forever?

    Mom pecking at chicks, please help (with photo)

    Thank you very much dear, I just saw your reply which is really helpful. What about the hen? I have only that hen and the 5 chicks. Should she be alone? The temperature outside is about 15 or less at night, do they survive outside without their mom? Thank you again

    Laying eggs

    It depends on the breed. My Kurdish pullets started laying when they were only 4 months old, and went broody when they were five. Now, one of them is mama of 5 chicks and she is only 6 months old.

    Broody d'uccle laid an egg

    Yes, sometimes newly broody hen lays an egg while set on the eggs. Mine was set with 9 eggs on Sunday, I checked under her on Monday; the eggs were 10. Then stopped laying and continued sitting on them (5 hatched, 4 still under her, 1 was infertile and removed after candling in day 10).

    Finally I got chicks :)

    Hi everyone, I just wanted to say thank you for your advice. My brilliant Kurdish pullet who is only 6 months old hatched 3 chicks in day 20 (yesterday) and this morning when I woke up, I checked under her, another one hatched. There were 9 eggs under her (4 hatched and 5 are still under her)...
