    Bully Hens

    I am currently trying to merge my young pullets in with my hens and I'm having an awful time :( I have 3 hens that will pick on just one pullet. If I'm in the coop all is fine but twice we've walked in on them ganged up and stomping her. We then go back to separating them. Any suggestions on...

    WHY are my hens not laying?!?!?!?!?

    It's the younger girls that are not laying, not the established layers. PS, I'm the brother with the laying hens :)

    Aggressive white leghorn. What to do?

    Thanks for the advice! She is one of the hens that have been laying so she probably could use the added protein in her diet. Hopefully this will curb her crabby behavior.

    Aggressive white leghorn. What to do?

    I have 1 leghorn in my flock. She has been pecking us when we go into the coop for a while. She has started to pull thigh feathers out of our other birds except our brahma who is quite a bit bigger than her. I'm not sure what to do with her. Can I break this habit? Should she be culled from the...

    3 egg colors!!!!

    I'm excited to announce we are currently getting 3 different egg colors from 3 of our girls! Our Easter Egger laid her first egg this morning. What a sight! Blue eggs! She was less than impressed when we took it but she seems to have calmed down now. Can't wait for more color to start showing up!

    Hen laid 2 rubber eggs today.

    That's good to know. Luckily I was right there when she laid them so I was able to scoop them up before they were eaten. We dissected them out of curiosity and they looked like a normal egg on the inside. Next time I'll cook it for the girls to eat! This is our first experience with chickens so...

    Hen laid 2 rubber eggs today.

    My wife and I have a small flock of mixed hens. About 17 weeks old now. Our Golden Buff started laying 6 days ago, the eggs have been small which I gather is to be expected from a young bird. Well today she laid another egg which was nice looking at about 10 AM. This evening around 7:30 she was...
