We had a VERY mean too that we are on our way to get rid of as I type this. He has attacked my DD several times while she was just standing there. He has no tail feathers and I don't think they will ever come back. He was just to aggressive for our girls.

Yes she has always been this way. I just wasn't sure if there was anything I could do for her. She is always proud of herself and it doesn't seem to be bothering her. I always hate to make a special pot of chicken and dumplings but that may be were she's headed

My BF had the dates wrong on some chicks he put in the incubator and went to dispose of them and found some that had a few baby chicks in them. He brought them back in and put them back in the incubator, is there any chance they could still be alive after being taken outside and being moved so...

Our chickens have been going on an egg eating frenzie!!! nothing has changed in their diet, they have plenty of food and water, and we have NEVER had this problem before. the laying box is a milk crate on the ground, but this is were it has always been and like i said they have never messed with...
