Welcome....who would have thought chickens could be so entertaining. We sit on the deck and watch chicken TV all summer.

We are from Hunterdon County!

We have 3 Buff Orpington and 3 Speckled Sussex hens that are about a year old.

We also have 6 chicks that are 4 weeks old (leghorn, Blue Cochin, Silver Laced Cochin, Rhode Island Red, Dominique, and an Easter Egger).

I have a chick that's being picked on! Literally the others have pecked a raw spot on his hiney! I have separated her from the others and she is very stressed out about it. What do I do?!

 

[mame1616]

Separating him is the right move. Gently wash his wound and put a little Bag Balm on it. When it heals a bit, you can add him back in. I'd spray a bit of Blue Coat on it first, though.

If the chicks are still under a heat lamp, change to a red bulb to reduce the picking. Keep an eye on them for a bit after adding him to make sure they don't gang up on him again. If they do, take two more of the smaller chicks out, and raise them as a separate "flock," then add them back together when everyone is a little bigger and ready to go outside.
