I'm sorry for your losses. what are the breeds in question? My initial reaction would be to start chicks or pullets to have a younger crowd to go in together with your flock once they are feathered out. This would automatically move Abby higher in the pecking order and give the other birds...- EastNashChick

Cool! That's really interesting . Cool that's very interesting. I need to look into reading up on training her for chicken protection. The chicks were raised around her, and she understands they are mine and not to hurt them ( I did that part right) but protecting them not so much.- EastNashChick

She protects me, and would definitely never let anyone harm me, if anyone we don't know comes to the door she's ready hackles up until I say sit or let the person in an introduce them. But man, she does not understand the chickens need protecting.- EastNashChick

I have a boxer. She took to them really easily and is very gentle with them, but I can't seem to get her to protect them. Well, she protects them from squirrels but that's about it.- EastNashChick

I'd ask him to try VetRX it's all natural and when mine sneeze occasionally or during winter cold season it knocks it right out. If you're confident it isn't your birds they might have an allergy to something at his place or their immune system is lowered during the stress of the move and...- EastNashChick

I know we are trying to be natural here, but as you were already using flea bath (I think)? Try bathing them in dawn every 3 days and getting them completely dry afterwards. Or you can put some dawn with water in your hands and rub on them then rinse off. Blue Dawn only. It kills fleas, lice...- EastNashChick

I I was more interested in the habits of your birds and behaviorial traits of the Cornish Crosses than your setup. But thanks for the info and the all caps correction that "keeping people's opinion to themselves' somehow means you weren't 'commenting on others opinions. ' I was to direct...- EastNashChick

I slordaz what type of meat birds do you keep exactly? I was trying to read back through the thread to see and maybe missed it. I have no experience with meat birds and have heard about their heavy chests which can cause behavioral differences between that and other birds which contribute...- EastNashChick
