    Beak Tip Cut Off

    They do it so they dont injure each other. Because they are kept in such close quarters, they peck at each other out of boredom or stress and they dont want to risk injury, infection or death. I agree with you that it is cruel. I adopted 5 of them about 1.5 yrs ago, although, weve just been...

    pecking order on the roost

    I have 3x 2yr old hens and 2x 6m old pullets who have just started laying. The pullets have been with the flock for a few months now and were always getting picked on by the older ones as I was expecting. Within the last week or so, the pullets are no longer getting pecked at. I'm thinking it is...

    hello from qld

    hello from qld

    Hi all, I got 4 ex-battery hens about a month or so ago and they've been a bit of a different experience to the last time I had chickens. Granted, it has been a few years, but last time I always had eggs ready in the morning and I never had a hen stop laying early etc. But this time I'm...
