    Introducing solo new chicken - terrible idea???

    Hello! We have a new hen, Miranda, who we love dearly. When she is healthy and done isolating we are hoping to introduce her to our current flock. She is in their run or our fenced in garden, so our current flock can see her but not get to her. She is the same age and size as our other hens. We...

    Flock of 1 with Mareks- input requested

    One chicken left after 4 killed by raccoons

    It's been ages since I've posted a question on this website, but I am here with a question I never thought I'd need to ask. We've had chickens since 2012. We have a large backyard and the girls were able to happily free range. Then three years ago a neighbor started feeding raccoons two...

    Chicken Psychology 101: Solo Chickens?

    Finally, I'm posting my first topic! It's kind of a weird question, too, and I wasn't sure where to put it. I'm sorry if this is the wrong place! I'll delete it and move to the proper section if it is! Anyway, on to the meat of the matter- I know chickens are flock animals, and I've read...
