I have 3 drakes (unsexed) so I haven’t had much control over their dynamics. I can’t add more female ducks right now because of space and budget limits. Two of them are bullying the third one. It looks like one duck is the dominant one—even the second bully gets pushed around by it sometimes...

I have 7 chickens (6 hens and 1 rooster), Richard the naked necked rooster has always been super docile and never given me any issues or tried to harm any of the hens. I just got a female pekin from a bad home and when I went to introduce them he just started attacking her with his beak and...
Hi there. I have a 2 year old EE frizzle rooster who I love. He's very gentle with people and with his hens, and has been accepting to every new hen I put in his coop. However, I recently added 1 new hen that he doesn't like. The other hens seem to have accepted her, but he has not. She hides on...

I have 3 chicks and one is being a total bully. It picks on just one chick specifically. I didnt realize it could get this bad but while we were out one day the chick apparently beat up the other one so bad that blood was drawn and and we had to have the poor baby’s eye looked at. We separated...

Hi, dearlings. I create a couple of chabo bantans as indoor pets since they were babies... My hen is one week younger, but they both are almost 2 years old now and are living together since I adopted them. 10 days ago, my hen got her first and only baby chick and her aggressive behavior became...
Hello chicken enthusiasts!

one of our chicks is getting constantly attacked. we have four 6 week old chicks that our broody hen hatched (they are not her eggs we don’t have any roosters i’m not sure that matters though). i’m pretty sure two are roosters and the other two are hens based off colors and behavior. one of the...
So this is a duck, but regardless. His little foot, and beak are out of the shell, but he doesnt have enough shell gone to get out? Is he stuck? Is there something I need to do? Or does this happen often? I never experienced this with chickens, but it could be because I have never noticed...
