Thank you for your responses! The birds that are being picked on are actually the older girls. They're just significantly smaller than our lavenders. I will have to try hiding the feeders. Thanks again!
Thank you sourland, I have it set up in both coops (that connect) but pretty sure rats/mice and wild birds will just eat it. Im thinking that I might just try keeping the Lavenders cordoned to their coop.
I really appreciate the input. I feel so sorry for the littler girls
Can anybody give me advice or suggestions on what to do with my hens that are bullying my other girls?
I've noticed my smaller girls (Norwegian Jaerhon's) egg sgells are tremendously thin and the yolks are a lot lighter. That is if they lay at all. I'm almost positive they just aren't getting...
Yeah we have issues with wild birds too. Only thing that kept them aawat from the girls food was putting deer netting up all around their coop, and feeding them twice a day.
Hi I don't know if you've already narrowed it down, but could the wood chips their laying on be cedar? I read on another page to absolutely never use because its toxic to chickens. I hope that helps!
