1 week ago I acquired 10 new chickens to the coop / I have divided the coop - my orignal 5 chickens have been able to still get out and free range.. So the coop as been divided by fence for a week now so they can see each other --- now what is my next step?
Just got new hens today about 1 year old - had them in the horse stall opened the door and everyone went to the corner except on - she casually just walked out of the stall and just kept on walking - couldn't find her anywhere. Very weird she didn't act nervous at all.. I also have my older...
I have one girl that stared limping today not sure what is hurting her.. Actually have 2 limping just got 9 more 1 year old hens and one is laying down alot and limping - think maybe it got hurt in the transport process.

We have five girls that are about 3 years old, I just acquired 9 more hens about a year old -- any suggestions on introducing them -- -ended up seperating them because they were fighting... didn't dare to leave them all in the coop tonight so the old girls are loose in the barn .
Sorry for your loss -- just lost one today --- not sure if she had a egg that was stuck or a tumor...... didn't know it was going to be so hard to have a chicken die.... I had 9 chickens and she was my favorite --- prettiest and the only one I had named....
I have a Americana that has a swollen bloody vent --- sometimes with white ozzie liquid coming out.... What could be the problem and suggestions on what I should do?
It has gotton to the point that I carry a pail in with me to block her and I know she is after me now because she is trying to dodge around the bucket to get me......eeekkkeeekk
Thanks -- I dont' have a roo --- this really bothers me because I am a animal lover -- and even tho it's just a chicken I would really like to just let her out of the coop -- -but it would really bother me if something did happen to her ---- I've even tried showing her who is boss and it still...
Why would one of my hens turn mean..... she is not a year old yet and I got them all when they were 2 days old - this fall is when she turned mean. She is always at the door waiting for me - I am not sure why she turned like this or what I can do to stop her?????
