    Mother hen attacking 7 week old chicks.

    My hen Bailey successfully hatched 12/12 eggs however 1 died. The 11 chicks are now 7 weeks old and I've noticed that Bailey is slowly trying to sneak off every now and again and then she'll go back to them. In particular there's 4 chicks that she attacks and chases off. I don't really know why...

    5yr old Rooster attacking hens...Help!

    Hello, my rooster, LJ, is 5 years old and about a month ago he was attacked by something. No idea what, but I found a trail of his feathers through my yard and he came to "dinner" late that night. His tail and some back feathers were missing, but thankfully very minor flesh injuries. He refused...

    Rooster? The surprise fowl!

    When we brought home this "buff oprington" chick 4 months ago, we were certainly in for a surprise. Not only is it clearly not a BO thanks to its huge comb and feathered feet, it's also 1/3 larger than the entire rest of the flock (even the 2 year old Welsummers), and we suspect it's a roo...

    I have 4 5 month old hens (2 Barred Rock, 2 Ameraucana) the 2 Barred Rocks are definitely the head girls, one more than the other, but both definitely have always run the show. We've had all 4 since they were 1 day old and they've lived together ever since. The 2 BR have started to lay eggs and...

    Desperate family here looking for advice. Our rooster (1 year 2 months) is a modern day velociraptor. He's given my dad a several inch long scar on his leg and I just got a puncture wound to my knee that is deep enough to make it difficult to move my knee. The hens all are missing patches of...

    Trying to get a companion for "blind" chicken

    Hi, So I have a gold Wyandotte who has a depth perception issue. She was attacked by the flock and has been separated for some months now. We downsized our flock by selling all of our other gold and silver wyandottes. So I was reading about "docile" chicken breeds and was wondering, if I...

    Can you train chickens to NOT peck you so hard?

    This may seem like an idiotic question but my almost 5-week-old pullets (mostly, I hope) have started pecking our hands quite hard. This is not a big deal for me but it is frightening and painful for my little grandchildren. We want these hens to be "pets" and I don't believe they're being...
