    5 week old chicks fight when they see me

    My 2 olive eggers who are siblings are 5 weeks old, my barred rock (likely a roo) is just under that, and 2 buff Orpingtons are 4 weeks. The olive eggers have always been the biggest due to their age, but now they are significantly bigger than the others. It seems like every time they see me...

    Baby chicks fighting.

    About 8 weeks ago I hatched out two chicks. I got up today to let them out of the pin, and then about 5 minutes later both of them puffed up and ran at each other and started pecking each other on the beak.I have never seen this before so I don't know what to think. Can anyone explain to me what...

    I have slowly started introducing the new ducks. at first I let the new guys quarantine then showed them to each other so they could see them but not be with them. next I let them outside together and my less dominant duck kept going back and forth with the the new guys and his friend. After...

    My Rooster is making weird sounds after fighting two Roosters!?

    Hello Good day, I found my rooster in a corner just sitting down weak and making weird sounds? He's been in a fight with a rooster but I had separated them. Sometime early in the morning they probably fought again. My brother said he was fighting 2 roosters this time (the same one he fought...

    Five Jakes One Jenny

    So we have a group of six turkeys. Just like the title, five jakes, one jenny. They’re currently fine, but I know this is gonna be a problem later with fighting and overbreeding. They also hang out in the same yard as chickens and ducks, though they were raised separately and usually keep to...

    Fighting chickens and bloody combs. Not sure what’s happening!

    Hello all! I’ve got some misbehavior happening causing bloody combs and I’m not sure why or what to do about it. Yesterday my girl Piper (Plymouth Blue Rock) had a bloody comb so I stayed out in the run to see what was happening. I noticed another of my girls, Kia (Leghorn) who typically keeps...

    VERY Dominant Hen

    I have a super dominant hen. I have no doubt that if both my roosters died, that this hen Jolene would transform into a rooster to take their place. I raised my flock from chicks- ending up with 12 hens and two roosters. Orpingtons- 3 color variations. Being a new chicken mom, I have found the...

    Ducks eggs, separation

    Do Ducks lay on eggs in the fall? Can I seperate my female duck from my males Ducks, to give her a little break? How do you introduce new ducks to a new flock? I put a female in with 2 males and another female and the males pulled out so many feathers and hurt her. Also, my males ducks are...

    Pecking order or confused

    I have noticed that every time this one pullet Dakota EE does the pecking order dance with another pullet my cockerel Red RIR challenges her? Does he not like her? Does he think she's a cockerel too? Picture for attention..

    Take your guess!

    So we have had Henry for almost 6 months now! He’s a beautiful boy but an absolute coward. The person we got him from saved him from a flock of fighting roosters, what do you guys think he is?

    Fighting or illness?

    Hi, One of my hens has really ratty tail feathers. Don't see anything like it on any of the others. Could this be from getting picked on or something else? She doesn't have any other issues- eats fine and is active. She isn't always the brightest bulb in the flock though. Is she just clumsy or...

    Shamo chicks fighting in brooder

    Hi there, I am trying to find out as much information as I can to be prepared if needed. I understand that, even as chicks, shamos can be extremely aggressive even from day one, particularly the young cockerals. Others have said this may happen around 3 weeks, that they start to fight. How...

    Two chickens suddenly fighting violently out of nowhere...

    Short version: Two of my chickens, a hen and a rooster, who have gotten along just fine for the last 7 months, have just recently started constantly and viciously attacking each other. I don't mean the minor pecks and scuffles, I mean the puffing, jumping, tearing at each other with claws...

    I bought two ducklings from tractor supply 6 months ago and they’re fully grown now. Both of them turned out to be male and i believe that one of them is a Welsh Harlequin and the other is a Khaki Campbell. I just noticed that they’ve been fighting each other and maybe trying to mate with each...
