Do you think she or the others would try to peck it off?

Where can I find a bonnet?

I got Blu-Kote at the farm store but the bully still went for her. The only other stuff they had was Pick No More. Is the spray available online? I thought about a saddle but I've only seen ones that protect the back and not the head...

I have 6 pullets and one all of a sudden decided to peck the heck out of one of the other ones. The injured one has a giant bald spot on the back of her head that was bleeding some. I treated the injury but I'm at a loss for what to do with the bully. I have a small-ish coop with an attached...

Yeah, I got the coop before I got the chickens, and I originally only intended to have 4. We ended up with 6. They seem happy enough, though, but I think it helps that they have the run as well as inside the coop. Thanks for the idea about the chainlink fence. That's what the woman who had the...

Hello all. I have a 4x4 coop for 6 chickens who are not laying yet. The pop door leads into my yard and my son built a 3 feet wide by 4 feet high by 8 feet long PVC and hardware cloth run that butts up to the coop where the pop door is. It's a little cumbersome because we have to pull the run...

This is such a great idea and exactly the kind of information I was looking for! Thank you! My run is just starting to turn to muck but this week I will mow and put the grass clippings in.

I managed to move my coop over a little so the temporary run lines up better, but now the chickens are turning the grass run area into a poopy, muddy mess. I feel like I need a backyard chicken mentor!

I could really use some advice here. This is my coop. It's about 4'x4' with the bit sticking out where the nesting box access is. The run in the pic is 3 feet wide by 8 feet long and 4 feet high. My son and I built it out of hardware cloth, zip ties, and PVC pipe. It's great but is awkward with...

Hi, I'm Heather. I am new to raising chickens. We have 6 on a 1/4 acre suburban lot in coastal MA just north of Boston. I plan to post a pic of my current coop setup in the right forum because I could use some advice on how best to make my coop work with my yard and the portable pen my son and I...
