    Couple of ??'s I need help with

    I'm not sure if anyone still keeps tabs on this thread...I just introduced a 3 month old ameraucauna cockerel to my 4 1/2 month old pullets and he's trying to mount them left and right. I know it's a combination of hormones and dominance, but I wasn't sure if he was just an aggressive little guy...

    Broken tail feathers.

    I realize this is an older thread, but I'm having a similar problem. I have 7 6ish week old chicks of different breeds and one has been picked on in the past. Many of her tail feathers were broken and bloody about a month ago and are slowly growing back, but several of the ones left are damaged...

    Successful reform of a bully chick

    This gives me hope! I have 7 6 week old chicks right now and have been struggling with a RIR bully. She only picked on one other chick, which just happened to be the only other Rhode Island Red. Plucked out almost all of her tail feathers and started pecking at the vent as well. I separated the...

    Separate the bully or the bullied?

    Separate the bully or the bullied?

    I'd say between 5 and 6 weeks. When we got them they were a little older, the farm store said about 2 weeks but I'm not sure of the exact age. I did some research and took a close look at the bully's soon to be waddle and I think I may have a rooster on my hands!

    Separate the bully or the bullied?

    I tried reintroducing her this morning and she started pecking at the others too. Some of them stuck up for themselves but I isolated her again, this time in a separate room. She's got a good amount of adult feathers but I'm not sure if I can leave her that far from the heat lamp overnight.

    Separate the bully or the bullied?

    I had her separated with another for a couple of days but as soon as I put her back with the others she started in on boots again. She doesn't pick on any of the others and none of the other chicks behave this way. I separated her again last night, this time by herself. They're in two separate...

    Separate the bully or the bullied?

    Hello! I know this is an older thread but I'm having an issue with a bully chick. I've got 7 4-5 week (not entirely sure of their exact age) chicks, barred rocks, Rhode Island reds and black sex links. One of the Rhode Island reds has been picking on the other. She got a bit bloodied up last...
