    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Theo sound amazing! I'm currently in a losing fight with Seven and River, becoming their human perch anytime they have me in the run. Some of our older hens, like Buffy and Selena and Artemis, keep tricking us that they'll be broody, then go, "Nah, no thanks." Because we have two roosters, Luke...

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    The flock(s) we have right now are actually my first experience with chickens at all, but my husband has had a lot of experience from having chickens himself and his aunt's chickens. I'm an egg rancher myself, honestly. We can't eat our chickens; they're all my pets, and I love them. I dealt...

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Fair. They looked pretty rounded; Seven's seem to be rounded, for sure.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Yeah. I'll admit, I feel guilty I couldn't really help her? The most either I or my husband could do was be with her until she was fully gone, honestly. We've decided we're definitely gonna take a break from hatching for ourselves for a while, or just let a hen hatch if she wants to hatch so we...

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Just wanted to give an update, but... I don't have to stress, I guess, about Duckie's pecking anymore. She passed from what we believe was her heart giving out a few days ago.

    What gender are these two chickens?

    Hello! Hoping over here with a question... can you help me ID the gender of these two chickens? They're both Easter Egger crosses, either mixed with a New Hampshire Red rooster or a White Leghorn rooster. They're 13 weeks old. The one with chestnut and fluffy cheeks is Seven of Nine. The...

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    I think I'll also post them there, but Seven's dad could have been either our rooster Mr. Snowflake, a white Leghorn, or our former rooster Roo, a New Hampshire Red. My husband says Seven's coloration is chestnut; I'm unfortunately a bit colorblind, so I tend lean towards his judgement on colors.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    My husband named Seven; funnily enough, she was the seventh of the nine eggs we had to hatch. And thanks, I'll see what others also say, but I appreciate the help ID'ing.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Fair enough! We don't know either, and even my husband's Aunt isn't entirely sure.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    For a bonus, my husband is also wondering if anyone wants to judge if Seven of Nine is a hen or a roo too. She's 13 weeks too, and she's got the same mom as Duckie, Luke, River, and Scooter.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    @Mother of Chaos @Squawkers Here's Duckie. Best I could get without interrupting breakfast and picking her up.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    I do, but they're from two weeks ago. I can share a picture tomorrow, when I go out to them tomorrow. Because she is getting a red comb, but her brother has had a red comb for a long while?

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    I'll keep you updated on how it helps! I'll be honest, she is a bit spoiled? She was one of the three we had to nurse a bit, and that meant she got handled a lot and given a lot of affection to make up for having to cause bits of pain to help her (splayed leg and curled toes). I think I might...

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    ...You know what, fair. My husband said the same thing, honestly. She also pecks me when she wants down.

    Why is my chicken pecking me?

    Hi, me again! This time, I'm here asking for advice or possible reasons for why my 13 week old Easter Egger mix chicken is pecking me? Like, straight up, Duckie (full name is Duck-Duck-Goose) will either bite down on my pant legs and pull with all her might or sometimes add in some kicks too...

    Issue: I cannot tell if my Turkey Egg is dead; still growing, but we can't see veins clearly.

    Hi, like the posts title says, I have a turkey egg that I'm honestly experimenting with after discovering it to still be developing even after being in the fridge for a week. I don't know when it started to develop, nor am I sure of when it was laid. I have a recent image from today that I'm...

    Injury or Growth? Odysseus of Ithaca's turn for a post

    Fair point. Hopefully, the weather will permit me watching them; the storms we've been getting hit with has been preventing my observation times. I like watching them, and learning what quirks they have as well as seeing their actual dynamics, especially with them being with my disabled hen.

    Injury or Growth? Odysseus of Ithaca's turn for a post

    Okay, thank you! So, would you suggest we separate Ody? My husband, after I told him what you said, did point out that Ody, Penelope, Latios, and Deep all tend to peck at each other's beaks when scolding one another; the others all tend to not do that.

    Injury or Growth? Odysseus of Ithaca's turn for a post

    1. Odyssey of Ithaca, or Ody for short, is a Black French Copper Maran that's about 10 weeks old as of today. 2. Ody resides within an enclosed run (with a coop) with the Diamond Duchess Penelope (her wife /jk), the Black Maran Deep Dark (formerly Deep Slate), the Blue Plymouth (?) Latios, the...
