    Killer

    This is Killer. She's a single black female Australorp, from Oklahoma, just 1 week shy of 1 year old. Killer enjoys attacking other chickens, pecking chicken combs and plucking out the butt feathers of every chicken she comes in contact with. She would probably enjoy a long walk through the...

    Comb Question

    I'm not sure if this is what is happening or not, but one of my girls was getting pecked on and she was really stressed out. She would run from her attacker and her comb started to "shrink" and was not as red as it was before. The problem has since resolved and her comb has grown back and is...

    Naked Butts...

    Ah!! Death? No!! Well the RI has had no butt feathers for months...she seems fine otherwise. She is ALSO missing feathers on her back but she is the only one who is. We don't have any roosters although some of the girls have been taking "control". I witnessed some plucking/pecking feathers out...

    Naked Butts...

    They've been missing butt feathers for months now. I'm pretty sure I've got a feather eater on my hands, but I haven't found the culprit. I've put pinless peepers on who I thought was doing the plucking and supplemented their food with protein. It's not working... I suppose they are bound to...

    No Kids Just Chickens

    I wanted a farm, we compromised on an acre. I wanted a "farm" dog, we compromised on chickens. I wanted 10 chickens, we compromised on 5. I wanted to buy an expensive coop, we compromised and built it ourselves. The chicks arrived at the Farmer's Co-op February 29, 2012 - they are...

    Do I seperate her?

    Thanks. She's still in lock up - cell block 6 is what we call it. I wonder why she's just picking on one hen though.... Thoughts?

    Chicken stand off. Still separated. Killer vs. Victim.

    Do I seperate her?

    I have 5 hens. I'm getting 5 eggs a day, so yes, they are all laying... unless someone is popping out 2 day. This is stressful! I have gotten so attached to these hens I'm not sure if I could trade one. I'm going to try the separation method first and we'll see what happens. The weather...

    Do I seperate her?

    I've witnessed 3 attacks today on one hen. She gets along with all the other hens. She jumps on her back and pecks at her comb and the feathers on top of her little head. If I separate her does she need a place to lay an egg? Or will she just find a spot? Thanks for the advice, it is helpful.
