    comb pecking!

    I have a little flock of four pekin bantam hens. It’s coming up to a year we’ve had them. They have scraps, of course, and one of them (Belinda) is clearly at the bottom of the pecking order. Belinda was looking very sleepy this morning and had an upset tummy mess in her trousers so we brought...

    Rooster Admitting Defeat?

    Is it normal that upon being caught, realizing the game is over, and obediently sitting down a rooster will cause the feathers on the back of his neck to stick out? What does he mean by that- is it a sign of surrender?

    Rooster keeps biting my hens. 4 month old Bantam black frizzle Cochin.

    Hello, I have a 4 month old bantam frizzle Cochin rooster mixed with my flock of 11 4-5 month old chickens and one other rooster that is extremely docile (standard breed size). Now the bantam bites the hens in the neck and tail area. My mother in law wants me to get rid of it but they’re my...

    Duckling aggression

    I’ve got 4 mallard ducklings and they are 3 weeks old now. One of them recently has started biting the other three. She bites them almost every time they get near her and the others always scream and run away. It’s gotten to the point where the three non-aggressive ones don’t want to be in the...

    My pigeon is aggressive and I want to fix this problem

    Unsexed homing pigeon. Over a year old. It used to slap me but now it bites. Not pecking but biting. He will usually do this when he's in the same room as his cage. He sleeps in the cage at night and has food and water, other than that he gets a whole bedroom. I try to hand feed him but he...

    Pinless Peepers and Guinea Fowl

    My guinea fowl are being absolute bumholes and harassing my chickens. I’m looking into pinless peepers and bumpa bits as a last resort before I might have to rehome them to a guinea flock. I asked for females but pretty sure I got given 4 males, never seen an egg the whole time I’ve had them...

    Help! Hard Biting!!

    I have two beautiful turkeys, around 8-10 weeks old. My white one was super friendly, never bit and my little black one did bite. I can’t tell if they are being aggressive or just turkeys. I would post the video of how the white one is biting but the platform only does pictures. The white one...

    Hello! First time posting on here :) I have a garden with a pond and for several months there have been a couple of mallards (male and female) spending the majority of their time here. They're very sweet and we have no problem with them being here, I even bought some duck food to occasionally...

They aren’t aggressive to me but I tried putting my 15 week old Cochin pullet with them for a minute and they pecked are her and I...

    Preventing Aggression

    Is it possible to train or prevent a duck from becoming aggressive? Last night my two week old duckling was pecking at me in a very aggressive way. They normally will nibble on me as they would on each other, but last night it was more aggressive than it usually is. She/He was really grabbing...

    Broody-ish Hen

    I have a 7 month Buff Orpington that started laying a little over a month ago. Recently (about two weeks now), she's been aggressive while on the nest. She'll make this awful warning noise if I open up the door, she'll puff up, and she's pecked me hard enough to draw blood the past two days. I...

    Rooster Gone Sour

    Hello. I'm new here. I work on a historic farm that is open to the public and help take care of 30+ chickens (we got some new babies and more on the way). One of the roosters, who my friend named Clux, has recently lost his dominance. Over the summer, he used to have a ton of hens following him...

    PLEASE help me

    Okay, so I have absolutely no idea what to do right now. I’ve had a little orphaned duckling for almost a month now. He hadn’t been with any other ducklings, & I knew ducklings weren’t supposed to be alone like that so I finally went and got a Muscovy duckling as a companion. At first, they were...

    Tom turkey aggression

    Since we've hatched out poults, now 2 months old, Tom has gotten more aggressive. Before we had poults he was fine I could touch him and he'd be kinda scared or content with it, now if I get too close he might peck or jump kick, and tries to charge when I turn my back. It's not that bad since...
