    Hen turned aggressive

    she is head honcho. she will protect them just like a rooster. her hormones even change to more like rooster ones. she also will quit laying. remove her to where she can,t see the other hens. a new order will form.

    Sadly it does sound like heart disease. I finally figured out what was causing the death of my flocks in the mtns. Ducks, I think. I have a wild flock of ducks next door and they kept coming to my backyard to rest during the day. They are mallards, thus protected or they would be gone. One...

    Normally here we have bear that walk by at night but they bother the bird feeders worse than anything. Seldom do you hear of problems unless the humans start feeding them.

    I'm with you , if they really cared about the dogs they would have been hunting them and asking around about them. I know my brother has hunters and is very upset if one gets out. He knows the danger that the dogs would be in. Most hunting dogs are not use to strangers and do not like to be...

    Your Brahmas are really beautiful. Betsy esp. I have never had that kind of hens. Do they lay well? As you said they are fluffy looking. I doubt I will be up in the hills early enough to hatch the eggs so they would lay the first season. Maybe if you have chicks next Spring I could get a...

    I soo wanted to have a nice flock again. Just a dozen good birds. I wanted a few English orps. They are so bustly and the tails waddle when they walk. Now I will have to wait until this runs its course. Waiting when you are over 70 is a crap shoot :) Thanks for the information. Maybe this...
