It's hard because I have 16 chickens altogether and the ones Belle gets along with are the other ones that get picked on.. but I do feel like I will probably have to separate her for a while. I just feel bad because it will make it more difficult to get her outside separate from the others but...

I have a isa brown Belle she was sick I successfully integrated her back into the flock. But she has some concerning behaviors so I think when I'm not home she is being bullied. She runs to the outside watering container as soon as I open the door in the morning. She sits in the tunnel and won't...

I was in the same position. But my Belle was out of the coop for at least a month. Someone suggested to me putting her in when it was completely dark and then they accept the "new" chicken easier. So I just had a small flashlight trained on the ground so I didn't hurt myself and put her on the...

I had a chicken who was sick was in the house for a while. She is doing better. She was in a large dog cage inside the coop for about a week where the other chickens could see her but not touch her. Yesterday I let them all out for their weekly free range in the yard. I tried to incorporate...

They do have access to the inside and outside during the day it was nighttime and all the other chicken's went in earlier except her..she is in the house so I can keep an eye on her until she is ready to go back with the others..I tried to give her hydro hen in her water to give her electrolytes...

My chicken has been sick about a week..last weekend I found her in the coop tunnel soaking wet from the rain and lethargic I took her into the house. She was only drinking but now has started eating a little again..she has lost a lot of weight so I'm worried about her. She is an isa brown about...

Would anyone be interested in joining a what's app grief group for chickens? Just a way to connect and support chicken parents who need to someone to connect to in a difficult time of mourning

I have made plenty of mistakes too that I have felt guilty about. I always learn something new. Depending on where you live and how much space you have and how many chickens and how big they are; can you bring them in the house for a while? I bought a dog kennel cage and when I have a sick...

Thank you. The anniversary for one of them is coming up and it's hard because it was her birthday and the day she died and it's my boyfriend's birthday. And then recently I had a death anniversary for one and the next day I had another one die

Hi as everyone knows as long time chicken owners it is inevitable that eventually we lose our babies I lost 10 to death and 6 I had to adapt out. I joined a free grief group online but it seems no one besides me has lost chickens. Everyone else talks about dogs and cats..I was wondering if...

I have a sick isa brown she was really sluggish we brought her inside she was thirsty she drank inside for a week was better i started transitioning her back into coop she got worse very tired again issues with her balance she is very floppy will not eat or drink very sleepy i took her with me...

Hi I have a barred rock chicken. She was unable to walk ate some plants she shouldn't have. She was kept in the house for a while was doing a lot better so I put her in the infirmary where she can see all the others but they cant interact physically. She is doing really well 95 percent normal. I...

She has more energy eating and drinking well. Leg does not seem to be broken. It was very swishy mud...
