Quote: Went to let the others out of the coop this morning and she is just raising cain. Gave her fresh food and water and she backed up when I opened the door. Was really odd to watch Miss Big Britches cowering back in the corner of the carrier. My other girl is so far so good. I am going to...

Quote: I hope I have it figured out. I have her inside the coop but in the corner in a pet carrier. Is this ok or should I put her somewhere else. I want her to see what she is missing but if this is not the correct thing to do please tell me. This is our first attempt at chickens so I am just...

Quote: We just found that our Roos butt has been pecked also. She is just something else. He is raw but no blood that I can find. He has several quills sticking out with no feathers. That is how I knew she was the problem for sure when I saw her almost to the point of chasing him. I know we...

Quote: OK here is what I have so far. I observed them in the run for a little bit. One of our TSL is being the ring leader. She is pecking everyones tails. I let them out to free range and she is the one. Can she be rehabilitated? I grapped her up and took her to the run and gave her a stern...

This is the coop.... There was none of this pecking going on until I had them stay in the coop for about a half a day because of heavy rains.... Could they be mad because they didn't get out to free range.... I took them treats of veggies several times those days.... They were still able to go...

Quote: Sharon thank you so much for responding again. At first I thought broken neck and that they had pecked her just because that is what they do. But we checked everyone last night and that is when I found the one I have in a quiet room, in the nesting box. I turned her around and saw her...

Quote: Thank you! I can barely think let alone type. I am just heartbroken. I hope someone will see this and help me soon. This is the first time raising babies for us and to loose one is heartbreaking but 2 and possibly another is just terrible. I am sitting here crying which I have done for...

Does anyone know what could be causing this.... Please I don't know what to do.... I feel so bad that I was not there for the 2 when they were dying.... I just don't understand this happening to 3 birds at one time.... These are part of the first 15 we got.... I guess the honeymoon is over, as I...

She is still here. She seems to be happy no distress. I went to get her some food and found another one gone. Her but looked the same way. I am just distraught.

Quote: I will do that if she makes it until morning. I hope and pray she does. Today was the first time we got 25 eggs. It was a great day and then one is found dead and now another with her butt looking the same as the dead one. I had just been to the coop 2 hours before and they were all out...

Ok here is what I have done so far.... I put cornstarch on her bottom.... I didn't want to scare her or rile her up.... I put her water inside the carrier and she does not seem to be in too much distress.... Another thing her comb is brite red not pale at all.... I am just at a loss for words....

Quote: I am wondering about over crowding also. In your siggy you have that you have 27 chickens. How big a coop do you have? Do they free range or do they have a run? They have a run and they free range for about 6-8 hours a day.... They were not able to free range yesterday because we were...

Thanks everyone.... I was able to add a pic my last post.... It looks so bad but does not seem to be leaving any blood on the floor of the carrier.... I am just hoping this is not something that will loose all my girls.... The coop is 6x14 with a 25x3 run we have 8 nesting boxes.... They have...

Here is how she looks. The other one was dead when she was found but her bottom looked the same way.

Ok I am having a hard time here. I cannot remember how to add a pic. I am all to pieces.

Sorry I hit the wrong button. No signs that anything was wrong. When my husband found the first one she was laying under the roost. They had been let out into the run about 7 hours before. They had alittle bit of scratch corn and regular layer pellets to eat. Nothing out of the ordinary. Her...

I now have her inside in a pet carrier. Please someone what do I do now? I had to physically push one off her after I sat her on the top of the nesting box. She was like a vampire going after the blood.

DH found 1 dead today inside the coop.... They had already started pecking her when he found her.... We have been gone about 6 hours and returned home to another one in the nesting box bleeding.... Please help what is wrong and what can we do.... We are putting her in a pet carrier and going to...
