fight

I got a new quail a few days ago (R). She is white feathered and absolutely adorable. Unfortunately one of my previous female quail (F) keeps fighting her and showing aggressive behaviour. R seems to be frightened and tends to find a cozy corner to sit in. The male (P) and other female (B) don’t...

Hi all! I hope all is well with you and your flocks 😊 (SHORT VERSION) My buck got into a fight, today, his eye is swelled and glued shut. What should I do? (LONG VERSION) Yesterday morning, one of my bucks got in with my other buck, and they got into an open fight within a matter of seconds...

For some background I have three, two year old male pekins and no females. One of our pekins has been getting badly mauled by another and separating them is not really a perfect option right now. Any advice on what to do? Should I be treating the balding spot of his neck or covering it with...

Pet chicken fends off neighborhood pigeons: Chicken fight rainbow lorikeet:

Help! We have our first backyard flock of 9 hens. Our 3 original chicks were purchased in April of this year. They are a Barred Rock, a Buff Brahma, and a Columbia Rock Cross. They have lived peacefully together all of this time. We purchased 4 more pullets in July, and integrated them together...

Hello! So I have 5 chickens at my house a 6 at a ranch. Today I took my 5 chickens to the ranch to meet the other batch of chickens for the first time. When we got there they started fighting each other even the hens were fighting my rooster. Does anyone know why they fought?

I have 6 roosters & I've been told that I can keep them all together in a separate pen from the hens. My concern is, will they still fight each other? How far away should their coop be from the ladies? Any advice is appreciated. ❤ I attached a picture of my boy, Leghorn.

Hi! I’ve got an emergency! I’ve got 3 cockerels and 3 hens all in the same coop, that have been raised together since they hatched and just recently my buff Orpington and my Brahma has been bullying my silkie cockerel. As soon as they come out of the chickens coop in the morning the two big...

My two blue silkies (still unknown gender) were doing this today. I thought one of them possibly laid an egg a 2 days ago, but this behavior looks like instinctual cock fighting or something ? They aren’t actually attacking each other yet, just like challenging I guess. What do you guys think ...

Good afternoon. I am from Portugal and I have 2 bantam rooster and 6 bantam hens. I recently added the new rooster (young). Most of the time they get along nicely, but when one of them tries to mate, the other comes running and pricks the other. One prick and the fight is over. Sometimes the...

I have been raising my flock for about 3 years now, and these two fighting chickens have been together since the day they were hatched. One is a Buff Orpington and the other is a black Andalusian, both hens, both 3 years old. They have never had problems with each other before, but this morning...

How much (if any) fighting can I tolerate between roosters? I have 5 1 yo roosters who all grew up with each other and they get along for most of the day until the evening they start getting in matches. I try to break it up when I see it but obviously I can’t be around at all times. Sometimes...

Ok, so if anyone read my previous post a few months back one of my Leghorn hens wasn't feeling too well and I asked for advice and took her to the vet. She recuperated and was in better health at last and then came the real challenge: reintroducing her into the flock. It's been a back and...

I have two roosters in my flock that have been living together peacefully for almost two years now. Well just since yesterday I noticed they have started fighting. I've had roosters fight before but these two don't know when to quit. I tried to stand back and watch, hoping they would stop once...

Hi all, approx 6 weeks ago we introduced a silkie to our other two chickens, and apart from the expected pecking order squabble everything has been fine since. Only in recent days the Dorking is being a right bully and chasing the silkie constantly! She leaves the Orpington alone, is it a...

Hey I'm in Washington State and I want to know how to make a case and fight for the rights for roosters to be in town. So many people want to keep their boys and dogs are more obnoxious than roosters and roosters are able to be kenneled and contained at night into early morning so I don't see...

Hi there, Cosmo is the queen of my chicken coop, but she has taken to attacking Cheeko chicken in particular to the point I am worried she will kill her. Cheeko is an older girl and has trouble walking, so when Cosmo comes to attack her, it doesn't help that Cheeko cant get out of the way. When...

I'm building a chicken coop 8x8x50 and I want to know if there is anything else to prevent my 2 flocks from attacking each other. I'm giving them plenty of space for 9 and they have been introduced several times but they don't live together. This new coop they will all live together. Anything...
