Hi guys Just a quick up-date I still have her I just moved her to another chicken group. My dad has a flock consisting of a RIR, Ancona, and one buff orpington. They are the constant egglayers and have their own run/coop. She hangs out with them now. My dads 3 chickens keep her in check and now...

Hi guys, Well I separated her for a week. She went out of prison and went on to peck and drag those around her. Holding on longer than necessary and now one of my chickens is limping because she got jumped, pecked, and dragged. She can't stay and be a part of the flock anymore someone will be...

Update:Hi guys, So things are going well as I keep monitoring her. Somehow she got out of the pen I had her in and pecked at my white cochin. The affected cochin had blood all over her feathers and feet. Just a few feathers damaged; she is fine, but it looked worse than what it was. However...

Wow yea that is free ranging. They look happy. Glad this farm free ranges.

The silkies, the soultans, and three cochins get a long well. It's just that (barredrock) cochin. She is a beauty, but so mean.

Hi guys, Thanks for the help. I have 8 chickens total. Two silkies, 4 cochins, and 2 sultans. My coop is 6feet wide 12 feet long. Not sure if it's enough room for the 8 I have please let me know. I do have where the chickens can prrch, but I can add more. Leyena crumbles, regular layer...

Thank you! Ok I will try that.

Why can't she see them? I feel terrible doing this, but she almost killed one of my chickens by not letting her eat. The most I locked her up was a day and she got better, but began to be a bully again :(

Ok I can try that for sure. I have a large cage with enough space for her.

Please help. Thank you Cynthia

Hi, I have an agressive hen. Shes the boss in the coop. I live in the city and can't have roosters. My flock consist of 4 standard size Cochins, 2 silkies, and two sultans. One cochin is very mean as said she is the queen and thus mean to the point that she almost killed one of my sultans...

Beautiful birds guys. I was wondering if any of you know of bantam cochin breeders out here in Colorado usa. I wanted some for the summer. I currently have silkies and standard size cochins. Thanks

Hi guys, I called them and yea I would pay 11 bucks for each chicken per month...thats too much when you total everything up. I would pay 100 bucks per month. Not cheap for sure but doable. Thanks for your responses.

Kathy why did you decide against it? Was it too expensive for the coverage?

Thanks guys. There are a few doctors at the vet place I go to (the drive there is @25mins or so not bad). However, there is only one doctor who sees exotics. Turtles, fish, birds, ambiphians, ect. He is pretty good. They do accept VIP insurance which here in CO is the only one offered for...

Hi all, This is not an emergency, but I thought to ask this question here. Please feel free to move this tread if it is not where it should be. Vet bills for chickens is very very expensive...Chickens are considered "exotic birds" and thus they charge you accordingly. I was wondering if their...

Hi guys good to see this tread is active. My rooster has a cross beak too. He eats and is active, but has had a lot of seizure lately. Are seizures caused by him having a cross beak? Since he had a "cluster" of seizures he has not crowed. I am worried... Should I go visit my vet? What can...

Thanks guys for all of your advice. It helps me to understand what I can do to help them get through winter. The coop has an extended roof so no wetness (snow rain) in the run or coop,but the wind is chilly and cold. Thats what I am worried about those cold drafs.

Hi guys, I am wondering how to keep my chickens warm for the winter. They have a big coop; too big for the 8 I have. 4 silkies and 4 coachins. They are dry in the coop, but I checked on them today at night and the coop is cold. They seem to be fine, but its not "warm or hot" in the coop. The...

Ok I will try that. Thanks :) Glad is nothing serious.
