These chickens are mean!! I will never get this breed again. Docile my rear end. 😡

We live in northern Vermont and our supplier of pullets has moved out of the area. We are actively seeking 6-12 pullets or young hens. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you!

The 4H person from our area comes back tomorrow from vacation, yehaw! Hopefully she will call me back or I will call again, the little 4 beastly Silkies were hellions all weekend!

Thanks to all! We've decided to reach out to our local 4H club first. We will see what occurs and go from there.

I am so glad you posted this. I reached out yesterday on a post because we purchased what we believed were 24 hens back in the end of March and it turns out we got 18 hens and 6 roosters. They are all separated because of the abuse on the hens and among each other. We have for roosters, 1...

Thanks, you posted previously on my introduction thread - I appreciate it. We have the less agressive ones in the permanent pen, 3 of them, and the other 3 in large dog kennels, the 18 girls are in the new large coop we built and let them out when we get home. They deserve access during the day...

Thanks so much, I learn more from folks about the benefits of the various links than my own navigation here - it gets very confusing. We'll try to do a post on the Vermont link first.

We are all so new to chickens, roosters and this web page but appreciate your prompt reply. I was unaware of a Vermont link and may go that route. we have some folks interested but only for their meat and that would be a last resort.

Help! We purchased 24 hens and found out we had 18 hens and 6 roosters who 1) have been separated from the hens due to excessive mating, 2) excessive agressiveness within the roosters and 3) we did not pay for roosters and were expective hens. 4 months later we don't know what to do with them...

I appreciate your response. We did discuss a tin roof - it is popular in a colder climate like New England in Vermont. I'll post a picture once it is complete.

Their temporary coop has a wooden roof. We'll never know what occured - their permanent coop is almost complete and will have 3x the space. We don't know whether to shingle or put an aluminum roof on their 8ft x 12ft coop.

Help again! Yesterday afternoon/evening, we had a violent storm with sky to ground lighting with intense rain and hail. Does this scare chickens to the point of them pecking at each other? We came home to 4 bloody chickens and 1 badly pecked at rooster.

We have 2 female silkies, 4 male silkies,6 female leghorns, 4 partridge rock hens, 1 male partridge rock rooster, 6 Rhode Island red hens and 1 New Jersey Giant rooster. All are in temp coop except for Rocky who is in a large dog kennel still healing.

Thanks so much TwoCrows. The 2 eggs were small. I appreciate the info on the roosters. Is it better to remove them now versus in a few weeks when they are all in their new home to see how they adapt??

Thanks Southern Dad, we expected eggs in August, so we'll keep checking each day. All of what we believed were hens were held since we got them, so when we found out about the roosters (who had been held since we got them), probably made them gentle. So many folks have said roosters are mean...

Hi. We are so very new to all of this. Our son asked his dad for chickens about 3yrs ago and we kept saying no because at that time he was about 7yrs old. Now @ 11yrs old, we had him read a book (which he did over the course of a week) about chickens and then after the family discussion, we...
