Hello! I have three polish hens. One of them was attacked by a hawk and was separated from the other two for three weeks. Now that she is healthy again I put her in a fenced off area of the run to start integrating her back in. Well since I have done that, the other two hens are now fighting...

So a hawk swooped down on my polish hen right in front of me. It grabbed her and for some reason let her go. She has a wound on her back that looks like just a layer of fat that got ripped up but is still attached. I have her in the house now and I can tell she is still in shock. Is this a type...

Hi! I have three 10 month old polish girls. They are my first experience with chickens. I absolutely adore them and tend to spend more time with them than anyone else I know lol they are spoiled and some say “too domesticated” but I don’t think that’s possible. I’m excited to learn as much as...
