Rescue Chickens-AKA The Baldies

[Brahma Chicken5000]

Update-
We’ve got a good amount of feather regrowth going on down here in the boiling state of Texas!
We are going to go another round of the Blu-Kote tonight-then follow up with Pick-No-More.
They are your typical Australorps... Picking on smaller birds as well as themselves when they get one cornered. And they will lay ANYWHERE! We gather eggs daily-and we have to watch where we walk!

But we are very excited in their progress. Thank you everyone for your comments and advice!

They look so much better! You did a great job rehabbing them.

Glad they are doing well under your care, and good luck with the chickens.

That’s great news! Is that a typical Australorp trait? I didn’t realize that, and my only bully happens to be an australorp.

Everything I’ve read about Australorps says they are WONDERFUL birds, but they pick on others smaller or unlike their own. I’ve got two from an older flock, and they are super pissy with my main flock (mixed hens, considerably younger).

My Australorp, Bagheera, is a sweetie with humans and is affectionate. She likes to have her body right up against yours and she likes to roost nice and close to a buddy. But she bullies and pkucks.
