    Pecked by the rooster

    I came home a little earlier today to see that one of my hens had been pecked on the back of her neck, my guess is by one of the roosters. They have been doing this a lot, but never hard enough to break skin. Which I try to discourage when I catch them. I flushed the wound with water then...

    Turkey Vultures, Crows, and possibly a hawk.

    I went to go let my chickens out this morning, they are free range, I heard about 5 or 6 crows all making quite a lot of noise. At closer inspection it looked like they were attacking two or three fairly large birds of prey. I originally thought it was hawks. But as the larger birds settled into...

    Separate roos?

It was warm enough for them to be outside for about 45 minutes before having six chicks and my 12month old toddler outside got a little...

    Chick "panting"....?

    I just got a 6 new baby chick aprox. 2 wks old. Other than TSC labeling them "pullets & red pullets" I have no idea what bread they are. I got them maybe 4 hrs ago. They are in their brooder, with everything set up. There is room to get away from the light if needed. But one of the "normal"...

    Pasting up aprox. 3 wk chick

(they are straight run, so I don't know if it is a hen or rooster yet) This morning I tried to place it's bum in a small bowl of water, but it...
