    Angry Chicken

    I have one very angry hen, for the past several nights, since a coyote attack about 1 month ago, she is hard to approach and cawks loudly and puffs up at me when I approach. Today I found her in the egg box, very upset, also puffing and cackling short loud blasts at me. She seems really upset...

    Poor picked on chicken by 2 others

    I have a flock of 9 hens of two varieties. There is one hen that two other hens are constantly chasing, pecking, jumping on, preventing from eating and drinking. We've witnessed this, when we see it we try to thwart the behavior but that is temporary. Is there anything we can do to help this...

    Adding 6-7 young chickens to the existing 2 old girls.

    I wonder how that will go? They have been joined at the hip for 2 years, now we have (chicks 6-7 of them) that will be isolated from them til they are large enough coming into the coop.

One I added (Bulldog) as a full grown laying hen, she immediately took the dominant spot over the other two and in fact the first night I put them together (after a...

    Integration question, specific situation.

    Hi Everyone, I have a very aggressive rooster that I raised with a very sweet hen, they get along kind of ok but not that great (she retreats to the roof a lot due to overbreeding) - he attacks us mostly, so I got two mature hens and the incubation is nearly complete - the girls are doing great...

    Introducing new birds

    Hi I hope I can get some advice. I had 4 chicks, one died very early on and the other 3 turned out to be 2 Roos and a hen. We got rid one roo and have kept the other to keep the hen happy. I put up an ad at the feed store that I was looking for a couple more hens. Someone called today and...

    Hi Everyone, happy to be here!

    I live in the high desert area of Southern California and my husband and I got our first ever chicks the first week of April. The feed store said they were 90% hen which is what we want. They are Barred Rock. We bought 4 in the hopes of having at least 3 laying hens. We lost Mitzi at 3 weeks...
