    Hi everyone, thanks for the add!

    We have had chooks for the last 15 years, and apart from recent events and a visit from Mr Fox 5 years ago have been very lucky with our girls. All of our chooks over the years have either been rescued or re homes. Due to an escaped dog from a local holiday home, we now only have one Rhode...

    One lonely pullet

    I bought two pullets to add to my flock of 5 over the weekend. One passed away suddenly over night. I'm working on getting the healthy one a friend but in the meantime what can I do to keep the little hen happy and not lonely? She is still too young to put in with our older girls. Thank you for...

    I’ve got 25 chicks, all 4 weeks old and seem to be doing great. They are a mix of black jersey giants, red broilers, buff orpingtons, and Delawares. All of them seem to be doing well, eat, drink, play. But one of the broilers is always by herself, she even sleeps away from the others, doesn’t...

    Voice change and excessive fluffing of feathers

    My 6-year-old sex link hen looks to be the same weight and she is not missing feathers. We have recently lost her flock mates so she is alone for the time being (I am working on getting her a friend ASAP). I recently noticed that she will occasionally let out what sounds like a scream in a voice...

    Bullied Hen

    I have a flock of 5 hens and one rooster. Lately we have noticed some bullying going on in the flock. One hen, Pinky, is being singled out by every single chicken. The rest don't let her get near them, they run her off, peck her, chase her. She has to forage by herself, she can't socialize, and...
