aggresive

Hello! First time posting on here :) I have a garden with a pond and for several months there have been a couple of mallards (male and female) spending the majority of their time here. They're very sweet and we have no problem with them being here, I even bought some duck food to occasionally...

Does my duckling hate me? lol I’m starting to figure out that my, what I believe is a Rouen, duckling does not like to be handled. She/He used to lay on me just last week, but the more she grows the less she enjoys it. She’s/He’s also has been biting us when she’s/he’s obviously irritated, but...

I have two female coturnix quails. They were good friends and they were always next to each other until yesterday. One of them started to act really weird, she suddenly attacked the other one and now she's screaming at her as well. She is also losing feathers and panting all the time, which is...

My family and I have recently started raising ducks, and while we were planning on 4, an unplanned male was shipped to us and we're now up to 10 to allow for 4 females per drake. Our most recent shipment arrived today, all females consisting of a Blue Swedish, a Welsh Harlequin, a Buff, and a...

So I got a pretty Cochin Too and he has been pretty tame. However we noticed this week that he is starting to get aggressive. He pecked at my shoe but clawed and pecked my 3 year old. Nothing went through the clothing but this his behavior is evolving. Anyway to get him to calm down? ~Chicken

One of our hens hatched Sunshine in April from an egg I bought from an area farmer. He lived in the house for weeks until the weather was warm enough for him to be outside. We held him, talked to him, and every night, he sat on my husband’s lap while he watched TV. I have read that Sebastopols...

Hi. I have a chicken who never got picked on/bullied but she has been broody for about a week now and suddenly most of our other 7 chickens are being very aggressive towards her and attacking her when I bring out of the nesting box to eat. I’ve been having to keep her in a kennel by herself. Has...

This is a thread for people who own a capon (nueterd rooster) only. I currently have a 20 week old cockerel who is starting to become really aggresive with my hens and there is one he absolutely loves to terrorize constantly, all day literally and it absolutely puts her into shock I'll say and...

I bought a BO rooster a couple months ago. He just turned one and he is very aggressive. I can’t go anywhere near the coop or run without being attacked multiple times. He just won’t give up no matter what. Any suggestions on what I can do or should I just get rid of him? I attached a picture...

Meet Debbie. We thought he was a girl when he was young because he was a little behind the other cockerels in coloring and such, hence the name Debbie. Debbie is, to put it lightly, a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad rooster. He’s the beta of the flock and has, thus far, attacked me (his...

Hey guys. I am leaving on a trip for 11 days in a week and a half. My neighbor and a family member will be caring for my chickens. Right now I have 5 separate pens of chickens, which means they would have to fill 5 feeders and 5 waterers daily, and let out tons of chickens separately. I was...

Hello, So, I don't know what is going on with my 7mo.old Sebright Rooster. Just out of the blue he started showing aggression toward me, (now) there is only four hens and him in the pasture.

I have an Easter egger chicks that is about 2 1/2 to 3 weeks and she has started to peck at the feather of the other chicks and it seems like she is pulling hard. I can’t tell if she is trying to pick something off or is being aggressive. I just don’t want her to be aggressive and I am not sure...

Hi! I currently have four roosters and eight hens. Three of the hens are silkies and they are tiny little girls. The roosters seem to become aggressive toward each other and the hens and literally fight over them! Some of my hens have sores on their necks and missing feathers. My silkies get...

Hello. To explain my problem I have to start at the beginning and let you know this is my first time caring for chickens. I've had three chickens for a little more then a year. Two are Leghorn chickens, named Nuisance and Killer (the names are bad I know. They were the names that stuck) and one...

Hello all. We have 20 birds, well 18 now. And a lot of them are getting pecked on. To the point were they don't have back feathers and one has had blood drawn. We definitely had two males, which we got rid of today. There may be one or two more. But they are still too young to tell. So they...

Hi, I have 1 khaki campbell drake + 5 female khaki campbell ducks who are close to 5 months now. During the last 2 weeks, I have noticed the drake mating with the ducks, and even though there was pulling of feather or the neck, things were fine, and seemed normal for their mating ritual...
