I have separated Penny, the pecker. Pepper, the bleeder, cannot be alone without freaking out, so she is with my other very non-aggressive chicken. I put bactine and rooster booster on her back. Its worse than I thought :( Poor thing. Any other suggestions?

I have a very small flock of three chickens. The chicken at the bottom of the pecking order is getting picked on by the one at the top. The feathers on her back are gone and she is now bleeding. I would separate them, but I have a bit of an issue. The chicken at the bottom (Pepper) and the...

I forgot to include that they are (as of an hour ago) separated. I built an enclosed area under my coop, so my big red hen is down there by herself. It is starting to get a bit chilly at night where I live, so I don't know how comfortable I feel letting her sleep outside. Once again, thank you...

I have a small flock of three. I have a Rhode Island Red, a white polish, and a black chicken whose breed is still unknown. They were raised together from babies, so they are definitely a family. The Rhode Island Red is obviously at the top of the pecking order. She used to peck at the white...

I am currently raising my first flock of three chickens and a guinea hen. Before I got them, I did my research. I wanted to be prepared for when I brought my chickies home. A feed store, about 30 minutes away from me, has an amazing selection of baby chicks in the spring. When I went to go pick...

I recently got my first chicks :) I have a small flock of four. I ended up with three chicks and a baby guinea. I have been reading horror stories with, well, horror. I am now completely terrified that my guinea will hurt my chicks. So far, nothing awful has happened (I've had them for about 3...

Today I picked up a 2 week old Rhode Island Red, a 4 day old yellow polish, a 4 day old black polish (I think), and a 2 day old guinea hen. The guinea hen was my mother's idea. She has always loved them because of their feathers. So, I picked one up as I was getting my other chicks. Now (after I...

Thank you for your replies! I just picked up my chicks today. So exciting! I picked up a red one at the feed store. It was 250 watts, so I just hung it higher so I won't have baked chickens in the morning.

Today I came home with a 2 week old Rhode Island Red, a 4 day old yellow polish, a 4 day old black polish (I think), and a 2 day old guinea hen. I have already fallen in love. I cannot say the same for my beagle, Buster. At first he was a bit scared of them because they made so much noise. Now...

I have my brooder ready for chickens except for a red light bulb 75-100 watt. I have found many that are 250 watt, but they are just too much for the brooder I have. I am only raising four. I was thinking about this one...

I will be taking in four baby chicks this week. I have wanted chickens since I was little, so it is very exciting!! I have been reading about everything I need to know for the past week, and I think I understand the basics. My brooder is built and has all the necessities (except for the red 100...
