    Silkies bullied by Easter Eggers

    So, I need some help. I have three easter egger hens. They are about a year and a half old. They seem to be pretty docile birds so I figured that when I introduced three new silkie birds (2 hens, 1 rooster) to the flock it would be okay. I was told that easter eggers generally are okay to...

    6 weeks later

    6 weeks ago I took her out of the run. Since then she’s been getting a constant diet of meal worms, oats, the occasional egg and other scraps. She’s definitely been spoiled. I’m here to ask your thoughts though on when she can move from a dog crate in my basement back to her nice big run/coop...

    HELP!! Chicken with odd behavior bullied by all hens - trying to reintroduce him to the flock?

    I hatched 8 chicks (currently 8-9 weeks old) and At around 5 weeks old one day they began to beat my speckled Sussex rooster (I think he's a boy!). He was beat up and badly injured and dying.

    Chicken has dull feathers with bald spots

    I welcome your insight. I have a flock of 14 chicken that are 2 1/2 years old. No roster. Last fall I noticed one of my girl’s feathers were rather dull looking. She has since lost feathers primarily around her vent and belly, but also on her back. Her tail feathers are sparse and very dull. I...

    Has my bullied hen become the bully?

    I’ll try to keep this as short as possible so not to waffle, but don’t want to miss out any details! I had a young hen, Rihanna, being badly picked and pecked by one other hen, Barbara, (and sometimes her accomplice) in the summer. Rihanna’s poor tail feathers were almost non-existent and as...

    How to stop older hens from bullying younger hens?

    I recently got 2 young hens, both of them are around 2-3 months old. My older hens are around 1 year and 4 months old, and they won't stop bullying the younger ones. The little ones are too scared to even come out and drink water. What should I do?
