    Chicken Foot Plucking

    Yeah I think a week was not enough time for her to forget, especially since the feather eating has been going on a few weeks. I have her right next to the run so they can see each other. Is that ok or should I move her away? She is such a sweet girl and I love her so much even my Sultan will...

    Chicken Foot Plucking

    They are a few months over a year old. My Sultan will stand still and let her peck and pull at her feet, sometimes I hear her squeal and run. Luckily she still eats and drinks fine because she isn't chased by my buff. I'm going to keep them separated for a few weeks. I will do pinless peepers...

    Chicken Foot Plucking

    A few weeks ago my buff Orpington started going after my Sultans foot feathers pulling them out and making them bleed. I separated her into a pen next to the run. She was in there for a week and I let her out and she still goes after foot feathers. I put her back in the pen and am upping her...

    Bossy new bantams…..

    They're good on food luckily everyone is able to eat and drink fine. Their run is 176 sq ft for 3 full size chickens and 2 Sultans and 2 Bantams . I'm planning to build more stuff inside over time as I collect wood. I even gave them 2 large dust baths one with mulch or dirt so they can decide...

    Bossy new bantams…..

    Ok thank you I feel a lot better now. I got the Sultan and the 2 bantams for my original Sultan so she would have more chickens her size. She was holding her own against one of the ameraucanas then the other one tagged teamed 😒. Now she is the lowest one in flock once again. I love her so...

    Bossy new bantams…..

    I recently got 2 bantam ameraucana and a sultan 6 months old. I did the quarantine away from the original girls and introduction in a separate pen by the run. My original girls didn’t seem to care about them as much. Two of my older girls put them in their place and the other 2 didn’t spend...

    Chicken Foot Plucking

    So my lovely top hen my buff Orpington just recently developed the habit of yanking at foot feathering. She will yank at my Sultans feet pulling out the feathers and make her bleed. She doesn’t eat them either. They have a 176sq ft run for 4 chickens with 2 large dust baths and a playground I...

    Need help with coop size and run!

    I made sure if was predator proof with hardware cloth all around and a 1.5' apron surrounding the whole thing. I live in western WA so it's rainville here so I have clear roofing covering the whole thing so the entire run stays dry. I also have an omlet automatic door that lets them out and...

    Need help with coop size and run!

    I covered the whole thing in 1/2" hardware cloth and put 1.5' apron on the ground around the whole run and coop. I live in western WA so I made sure to put up clear roofing so the run stays dry and they can get as much light as possible. I also plan to put up clear plastic sheeting around the...

    Need help with coop size and run!

    I had a chicken coop that I commissioned that was supposed to 4x6. I didn't realize till it was delivered that a foot of space was being used by the nesting boxes, so the actual coop floor space is 4x5 with 8ft of roosting space. I built a fully covered run that is 176 sq ft, and I will have...
