    Why did my rooster attack my hen?

    All my chickens are four months old. The rooster in particular is an Easter Egger, and the hen he attacked is a Rhode Island Red (not sure if that matters tho). Anyway, Bob was doing his usual thing. Crowing and squawking as I was cleaning out the coop. But suddenly, he grabbed Ginger's neck...

    Skin Wounds: Healing with Honey and Sugar

    You're headed out to the chicken coop, ho-hum, just as you would any other day. As you catch sight of your flock, something is wrong.
