    Rooster Attacking When I Call in the Flock

    I got 2 suprise roosters along with my flock of laying hens that are about to be 6 months old. They've both been pretty respectful roosters so far as they've been going through puberty and haven't been attacking me. As my flock is supervised free-range, I've made sure to work on calling them...

    How to stop Muscovy ducks from bullying each other?

    I specifically got all female Muscovy ducks to avoid bullies but I soon learned that doesn't keep them from picking on each other.

    Getting attacked

    So I just signed up here and I’m hoping this is the right place to post this? So last Saturday I brought home our two Barred Rocks, and they have adjusted really well to their new environment.

    Unfriendly Hen?

    I have a 3 year old silkie/frizzle mix who absolutely refuses to get along with other chickens. Over the years I have tried pairing her with different roosters and hens but she always starts fights; however, she is super friendly with humans. In fact, she loves to cuddle. The thing is, she...

    What is wrong with my girl and what can I do about it?

    My 4 year old black Australorp, Polly, has suddenly turned really nasty. Her whole behavior is off. She is clucking constantly where she has generally been quite a quiet girl. She is frequently fluffing every feather on her body to stand on end, like hackles on a dog - see attached pic. It's...
