    Absolutely bloody viscous fights between my 2 hens. What to do?

    i have two brown hens. They were best friends when I got them just in April. Then one got attacked by the neighbor’s dog and had to live inside the house to recover and heal. When I tried to reintroduce them they are going against each other with a force and visciousness that I would’ve never...

    My button quails are getting hurt!

    So, I have 9 button quails. one day when I came home, one quail had no feathers, was out of the cage, and had blood coming from his head.

    Grumpy old girl...

    I had two hens that I raised from chicks. To be honest, they were a little spoiled - neither of them really knew they were hens, they were part of the family. Sadly, one of them died last year at the age of 2. I know how socialble chickens are, so we didn't want one lonelt hen. We bought 2 hens...
