    Thanks! The 'kid' is an FFA 16 year old, so I guess 'kid' was poor wording. She has animals she raises for the fair and all. We just don't want to give her free reign of the house while we are gone. These are good tips - thank you!

    Thank you! So, this is the last time that I plan on doing this, so I am wondering what the bare minimum resources are with which I can accomplish it safely. I have one coop and one run. One of the chicks is my new rooster, but he is a sweetie to everyone. The maran is a pullet. I have heard so...

    Thank you so much for the advice. Yes, it is the red wattles that the bad baby (Squeaks) is attacking. The question is... is there something really 'off' about Piper.

    It is really sad to watch. She is so beautiful and huge (8 lbs) and passive. She's always the girl that the kids pet and pick up and carry around like a doll. She doesn't deserve this :hit

    i really thought it would be the other way around as well. I was being so protective of the babies. I made a 'chick' escape hatch in their box and everything. But my poor Blue baby (Piper) has nowhere to escape to :( She's carrying 8 lbs of fluff around after all!

    I am trying to incorporate my new baby flock of 5 (6.5 weeks-old) with my 3 hens. I have done a bit of look dont touch, and two supervised free visits in the run. Completely unexpectedly, one of my babies (white maran) is pecking my 1 year old hens in the face! She is really attacking my...
