    Hen Bullying and Feather Plucking

    Just want to start off saying that there's a lot going on here and I don't feel particularly articulate today, so hopefully it all makes sense. Let me know if any clarification is needed. We have 3 hens total (2 Orps and 1 Cinnamon Queen) and unfortunately the Buff and the Queen bully the...

    Need to move to larger brooder area, but not ready for the coop outside.

    I have 3.5 week olds and 1.5 week olds in TWO plastic tote brooders, but they are quickly outgrowing their spaces. The little girls are way too small to be put with the girls who are 2 weeks older. I'm contemplating using a wire crate with a separator wall so they get used to each other while...

    Rooster separated from hens?

    Hi everyone! So here is my dilemma, I live with my parents while going to college and I have 4 younger siblings all under 8. We used to own a rooster that was friendly enough, but he'd attack the kids when they got close to him which made them never want to go outside when he was around. I...

    Respiratory illness

    I have two hens separated for respiratory symptoms. It’s been a week. They seem to be recovering and they are pets - I don’t want to cull them. How long do I keep them isolated before reintroducing to the flock? We have a closed flock, don’t breed or show. Including these we have four more one...

One of the males recently started being incredibly aggressive and has injured some of the females, and they now have patches on their necks that are almost bare...

    One duck picking on other two.

    I have 3 "females" ducklings (sexed from the hatchery) that are around 5-6 weeks old. A few days ago we noticed the Rouen picking on the buff and I had to pull 2 broken blood feathers. I have separated them completely, and outside (we keep them outside during the day now) we have a board...

    Darling the Special Needs Duck

    Hello backyardChickens and duck lovers. I am in a very unique situation. So about two and a half weeks ago we had a Fisher attack our flocks. We lost four of our chickens and two of our ducks. It was heartbreaking as we love our birds like a part of our family. After the attack we became duck...

    Mama Goose in mixed flock...do I separate her and gosling?

    Our brown Chinese goose has been laying on her clutch of eggs since April 7. Yesterday (May 8th) one gosling pipped through. No other goslings have hatched yet. The mom, gosling, and nest are currently in a nesting box in our coop, which also houses her mate, two ducks, two roosters, and eleven...

    Does pecking occur at night?

    Here we are again. My sweet girl Hope is molting, hard, again (2nd year in a row). We thought she was doing good at first. Some feathers were falling out but they seemed to be filling in at the same rate - I thought yay! The nightmare of last year has passed! Then I get up to check on them...

    Hen hates rooster?

    I have a Buff Orphington named Marigold, who had a complete personality flip from previously being very submissive. I had her and my other hen with a rooster for awhile but he became people aggressive and started overdoing it so that my other hen was starting to loose feathers on her back. I got...

    Chick died, leaving friend alone

    We have 4 grown hens and got 2 babies (Red and Coco) in June. We were in the process of integrating, letting them all free range together during the day and putting them in separate coops at night. Last night we finally put them all in the same coop. I opened the door bright and early so they’d...

    Integrating new chicks, not going well

    Hi all, I have 2 girls who are 5 years old, a silkie and an ameracauna. I have 6 new chicks who are 7 weeks old (are they considered pullets now?) and I've been trying to integrate them for about a week. The good news is that no one has died. The bad news is that the older ones are bullying the...

    Looking for feedback on whether or not you separate your birds when treating for sour crop. We just had a blissful month of healthy girls. This morning Blacky (Australorp 1 1/2 yr layer) has a watery swollen crop once again (crop was checked before and after keeping her in a cage overnight)...

    Tips on separating a duckling?

    Hi, It is a shame I have to post this thread, but I honestly cannot think of any alternative solutions to my problem. About a month ago, I purchased six ducklings, knowing three of them would have to be sold or given away to people who would give them a good life. I only had room for three...
