Sounds terrible!

Sometimes it helps to take the bully out for a few days. Knocks her down in the pecking order. But I think it would just prolong the fighting in the long run since you will have to then reintroduce her. As long as nobody is getting hurt I would leave them be.

Sorry you lost your flock. Good luck getting started again.

I think I'm going to have to do this with my English Orpingtons. Not going to be fun as it's still in the 20's here during the day and we don't have running water in the cabin. Will have to get the neighbor to help because my husband will have a fit if he has to hold a chicken or see's chicken...

Stinker!

I've only had my 6 month olds for a few weeks. They don't run from me but only because they know I have food. Not having any part of being picked up though. Not that I really want to pick them up and pet them. I think if you are wanting a pet then I would recommend starting with younger chicks.

I've never heard of a rooster collar! Are you going to tie him up or take him on a walk?

I third BR's mine were very sweet birds.

I'm so afraid to let mine free range. We have so many predators here.

Never thought about them not growing back until molt. Good to know.

I would think that would work just fine as long as the extra roosters aren't let out with the breeders.

Do you only have chickens? You could just put enough food and water in the coop to last that long . They must be free range. I would just put them in the coop early if you have a date. Mine are in a run and when it gets late they just go inside and I lock up when I get home.

Have you tried putting a short roost in the brooder for them when they are still young?

Are you going to be hatching eggs?

Hi Everybody, I live in Alaska and just got a few chickens. I have BBS English Orpingtons that have just started to lay, a SWH Rooster that I am trying to find girlfriends for and a mix hen that I think is my favorite.

I would love to have some of these.

Beautiful birds!

Looking good. My temporary coop is 4x8 but is not as tall. Wish it was taller hard to get around in there.

I like the flip up nesting box. Need to add one to my coop. Love that you are rehabbing an old building.

Are these bantams or LF?
