Please see attached album http://i.imgur.com/GpuPZZu.jpg This bird has free access to oyster shell. She gets garden delight snack mix, and ava charge off and on in her water. She has tested negative for worms and mycoplasma. She has always had some breathing problems, they worsen when...

Hi im back! Its started up again. Chuck nips at Mardigan and then Dorito full blown attacks. Chucks scared to death now and doesnt stop making scared noises even when Doritos just around the area. I feel like Chuck has been the instigator and Doritos just protecting Mardigan but I am no chicken...

One day, we had 3 regular sized egg, and one baby egg. But we only have 3 chickens! So i guess it's possible hah

Thought I would update on our chickens. After two days of separating Chuck, Dorito actually stopped attacking. We also added more entertainment and there hasnt been any real fights since

Haha yes you got everything right! Thank you so much for the reply. We just got them a ton of fun things to do and I think were gonna switch Dorito in tomorrow. I tried explaining all this to some other non chicken people and they just dont understand the drama between chickens! Haha

Chuck attacking Mardigan seems like just a pecking order. Occasionally we see Mardigan with a dot of blood but its nothing serious. We kept Dorito and Mardigan together because they have no problems. The coup is about 8 feet by 20 feet, theres a 3 feet semi enclosed roosting area and the rest...

Thank you for the response. We were thinking about that, but when we tried, chuck just would attack Mardigan. We're putting chuck in the chicken jail (its just wire separating the coup) until she heals and then putting Dorito. Is all this switching around going to confuse them?

Chuck would peck Mardigan, sometimes go for the neck and make baby cuts. Dorito goes full blown on top of her and doesn't stop, draws blood and takes feathers out. Chuck is also a lot smaller, and Dorito is a lot stronger

We're still having a hard time with our hens, its been a few days of this change. Chuck was the aggressor towards Mardigan and Dorito tries to beat up Chuck real badly. We have chuck in chicken jail but dorito keeps trying to get her when we let her out to free range. We tried letting them sleep...

I posted this in a different group but I think it might be more relevant here: Hello there! I have 3 chickens: Mardigan, Dorito and Chuck that have all grown up together (they are a year old). Mardigan and Chuck hang out while Dorito has been doing her own thing, no problem. But today my...

Dorito also likes to try to go into the nesting box at night away from the other chickens. Weve been blocking it off but since she is being evil we didnt block it tonight and she's already in there

Hello there! I have 3 chickens: Mardigan, Dorito and Chuck that have all grown up together (they are a year old). Mardigan and Chuck hang out while Dorito has been doing her own thing, no problem. But today my favorite chicken, Dorito, decided she utterly hates Chuck. She tries to attack her...

Is this ground flax or whole?

We took the bird to an avian specialist. They did a full blood panel with a state lab and it came back clean. That leaves reproductive issues, fungal infection, foreign body or tumor/deformity. Tomorrow I will try a week of daily Oxine fog treatments, if that doesn't work I don't know what else...

Haha aww yea mine do that all the time, it's hilarious.

I live in Southern California and its already 104 the highest so far. So far, we've added sand for the bottom to keep it cool as well as misters from the outside that blow into the coup. We tried putting in a pool with bricks in them to evaporate heat (the bricks get pretty cold, and they are...

I have a whole instagram for my chickens I just started. @exningschickens feel free to follow and say hello!

Ive had these conversations too. Its sad that our culture(s) arent more persistent in teaching where our food comes from.
