    The bullies killed my pullet :(

    Yesterday I had 13 hens, today I only have 12. I'm not a huge "crazy chicken lady" but I've come to really enjoy my nameless flock in the last year and half that I've been caring for them. In that time I've really only had one injury and I was able to treat it (a simple cut, even if it did...

    Head injury and the bullies are making it worse!

    I added 4 new hens to my flock (now 12 hens) about 6 weeks ago, one of which is a white leghorn (the only white). She very obviously is the "low man" but it hasn't been a huge deal.

I'm not sure I'm a fan of the rooster, and I don't know if our neighbors will be for long either. He's a bantam (we have 1 bantam hen...

    Received 4 new chicks, how many are roosters?

    I acquired a flock this last week, including 7 hens, 1 rooster and 4 chicks that are about 9 weeks old. I am pretty sure I have 3 of a kind, but I'm not sure if they are boys or girls. I am hoping girls but they have a larger comb than the 4th one. I was told the chicks are Amerucana, but I...
