    Confusing Hen Behavior

    I am at a complete loss as to what is going on and I’ve been researching but I don’t know what’s going on. I have one hen who seems to be isolating herself from the rest of the flock. I noticed her standing by herself yesterday and went to close their door at 11pm with negative winter...

    Bullying behavior at bedtime?

    Hi all! I was just witnessing some mean behavior from one of our girls towards her flock-mate tonight while they were getting ready for bed and I was wondering if this was normal pecking order stuff or a symptom of a bigger problem? This is a fairly newly built coop and I think they might...
