Marlene needs hormone therapy, iv'e said "get off that child!" So many times i'm going hoarse. She's big and gorgeous with these expressive eyes and a little floppy comb...but the girl is so dang BUTCH! It has literally been a day of musical pullets for her. Iv'e shooed her off a few times, Negan comes and supervises one little "bad girl!" peck after iv'e done the work.
Lulu is nearly as bad but she just chases, never catches anyone unless they stop. It is at least comical to watch her run.
Marlene has to be watched though, she's got a little looney in her.

She sounds a lot like B. Pudding. That girl hates poor Clayton. He danced for one of the D'Uccle girls and B. Pudding flying tackled him! Poor guy ran away all flustered. The little pullet who was about to accept his dance looked around in confusion.

It was rather comical.

My guess for the 2 w/ beak issues is that they got it caught on something, could be the fencing, or forgot to duck coming out the pop door. Did you see blood anywhere else? I wouldn't think they'd be able to get to each other well enough through the fence.


I don't know, I didn't see any blood anywhere else. It was weird. My pop door is nice and high, can't be that.

Suzi is healing nicely! She actually ate (devoured) some egg last night, and this AM was able to eat some of her regular food. She is the sweetest thing, Suzi. She's the size of a small pigeon and loves to fly onto me. I love her. I put Flower in with her so she'd have company, and because I'm paranoid about leaving her outside until DH fixes the run.

He is still insisting a raccoon didn't do it (DENIAL!!) My next door neighbor *feeds the raccoons*, hello.

We have a big grey feral cat that DH said was in the backyard today, and insists that is what killed my chickens. I said the pattern of how they were killed were consistent with a coon. How do cats kill chickens? (I mean the pattern of carnage after?)

Hey, how is your tiny human and the dizziness? And the other stuff? Is she OK? My awful dizzyz-spells-during-driving subsided as soon as I went back on my regular dose of meds, thank the gods, it was really freaking me out!!

So glad little Suzi is improving. ❤❤

Her and B.Pudding would totally be buddies after the inital "B" off.
I know I don't know "the way of the hens" but cripes, what logical reason is there to mount the pullets? And if nutty isn't jail loving the teens she's waiting for Negan to do his manly duties then run up and peck that poor already disheveled soul in the head!
I'm going to bookmark @staceyj ordeal of sewing combs back on, just in case.

Was talking to my Mom about adding to flock in spring. March-April probably.
I send her to the Greenfire Farm website and tell her the birds I'm thinking.
Then she starts looking at birds. "Oh look at those! Maybe you need some of these."
I've created a monster!

Sorry.
Funny you mentioned it, and what the heck is going on with all this comb snatching going on?!?

This evening at bedcheck time, poor Dolly has a peck mark on her comb.

I’m going to have to figure out who’s picking on her again.

Dominance.. she is showing she is above them

 

[Chickassan]

I have no idea! It is spreading like the plauge here though.
Several of the girls have nibbles, even Negan has a few thanks to Hobo.
Marlene is just snatching wigs left and right, she's always the biggest snatcher though she just has more victims.

She outweighs them by a good five pounds. I think she's overdoing it just a wee bit.

So glad you are feeling better!
Dizziness is scary!

Listen, we can bombard dh with postings about raccoons if you want!
Let us at him!

I’ve got something coming up onto my porch at night the past week or so. I think it’s been sleeping there.
The first time I let the dogs out in the morning they go right to the outdoor dog bed and smell it furiously.

It’s probably the darn cat that comes around.

I LOVE cats. Just not THAT cat.
