In the Brooder
Hi everyone. I had 10 hens who all seemed to get along. Then all the sudden 2 began pecking the rest until one was very bloody. We had no choice but get rid of them. Everything was peaceful (except a hawk getting one) until Two more began pecking. They pecked one hen who later died from infection of the wound. We had to get rid of them today. We are down to 4 hens. I'm just wondering if the same pattern will continue until they're all gone. Would it be best to simply get new chicks and start over? This is my first flock so i've never had this happen before. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
