    Can't reintegrate chicken - get her new friends?

    I'm going on 9 weeks of this issue, and just not sure how to proceed now. The chickens got out 9 weeks ago, a neighbor's dog got into the yard and roughed up Lady. She wasn't bloody at all, no torn feathers, but clearly in shock. I separated her for a couple of days, then put her back in with...

    Reintegrating a picked-on chicken with her sisters

    I've attached a pic of my coop set-up. I have 3 hens. About a month ago, they escaped the coop, and a neighbors dog broke into the backyard and roughed one of them up. She lost a couple of feathers and was in shock but otherwise was not hurt. That said, I moved her to the "emergency coop" -...

    Aggressive rooster harming young pullets

    Since they arrived, our rooster has been nothing but trouble for our now 9-wk old chicks. We have done everything right - we put them in a "toddler" room in the middle of the coop so our roo and chicken could see them & interact with them for several weeks. We moved them to a "teenager" room...

    Rooster an issue in introducing new girls?

    We have a rooster (unknown breed - given 18mo ago as a bizarre gift to my husband) and a Specked Sussex that we took over from a friend who was unable to keep her. Happy chicken couple. 4mo ago, she clutched & went broody. At 22 days, nothing was fertile, but hubby & daughters really wanted to...
