    Chicken drama

    Hello! Our friend happen to give us two chicks to add on to our flock and one happen to be a roo and the other (hopefully) a pullet. They’re both a couple weeks apart but the cockerel keeps picking on the little one and causing chicken drama. Both of them are still pretty young to introduce to...

    Cockerel can’t quite mate..

    Hello! We have a cockerel and five other pullets around the same age. One of our pullets started laying eggs recently and our cockerel can’t quite figure out how to mate with her.. They will do their regular procedure, but after she squats, he can’t quite figure out how to get on top of her...

    Rooster picking on one hen

    Hello! Recently, our cockerel has begun to pick on one of our pullets. They’re both around 4-5 months. The pullet that he’s been picking on does lay eggs, and i would assume that he’s attempting to mate with her, except when she squats as if she were ready to mate, he continues to pick on her...

    Pullet new to laying.. is this normal?

    Hello! Our pullet just started laying eggs a little over a week ago. We got an egg every day until a couple days ago. She stopped sitting in the nesting boxes and instead, uses the perch. We figured it was natural because she’s new to laying. We also altered our flock around by giving away our...

    Pullets pecking at cockerel’s comb

    Hello! We got a silkie cockerel not too long ago for our ladies. We just introduced them today and they all seemed to get along fine until our girls started checking out his comb and blue earlobes! They keep coming up to him, looking at his face for a moment and pecking his comb, and once they...

    Switching over from chick food to egg layer food

    Hello! One of my pullets just layed her first egg today and i was wondering when we should switch her over to egg layer feed?

    Cockerel Bully

    We have a 15 week old rhode island red cockerel that has been pushing our pullets around. It’s mostly our isa brown that he chases. She’s scared of him!

    Injured chicken

    Hello! We have a 16 week old pullet that i noticed is injured. The front of her comb is a little bloody and the tip of her beak is cracked. I don’t know what exactly happened, but i’m a little worried. She is eating, but only in smaller bites. Is there anything i can do?

I checked the coop to see if there were any leaks and i didn’t see any, so i figured maybe they stayed out? I have no idea! It’s getting dark now so...

    Does Breed Have Any Effect on

    Are there any breeds, from your experience that you find are often at the bottom or top of the pecking order? Does the breed matter at all? Or does it just have to do with the chicken’s characteristics? I’ve been doing a lot of research on the pecking order recently, and am curious about it! :D

    Hello! We have a chick around 6 weeks old that has recently started limping. I checked his leg to see if there was any external damage but there wasn’t.
