Hi there. I just got a lovely new hen today. She’s sweet as can be. But I quickly discovered she enjoys escaping over my 8 foot enclosure. I clipped one wing, and she can still get out. I clipped the other wing, and she can still get out. I love this new addition but I’m scared that she’s going...
I have a small backyard flock of 5 hens, all the same age, about 6 months. There has always been one dominant hen but she's never been nasty, until yesterday when she straight up attacked one of my other hens, pulling feathers out of her head and making her bleed. These girls have a huge space...
