    Chickens attacking the non-laying old hens?

    Hi, Two of our hens have stopped laying eggs completely. They haven’t laid in over a year, they are two of the oldest in our flock. The rest in the birds in our flock have been attacking both of them like crazy, like they have been rejected from the flock. We had to separate both of them for...

Looks like it just happened. We are building a coop extension this weekend (was already planned). Do I need to...

    3 Week Old Chicks Fighting Like Roosters

    For the last few days I’ve noticed my now three week old chicks have been shaping up to each other and fighting like roosters, jumping up and lashing out with their feet. Just wondering if female chicks normally do this too or if I’ve probably got all roosters? 🐓 Thanks 😊

    Ganders fighting!!!

    Hello, I've been having some problems with two of my Ganders. Their names are Gus and Puddles. Just yesterday they started fighting resulting in Gus getting a cut under his eye.

    Why is my Muscovy hen being so aggressive??

    My dear Muscovy, Cheech, has developed some concerning behavior in the past 24 hours. She's been more vocal and a bit needier of my attention than usual, and now she's attacking my 3 youngest. They were introduced and started sharing and run and coop in August. Since then, she's basically...

    What should I be doing for this? Anything?

    I have two BB white turkeys. I'm pretty sure at this point they're both Tom's but they're only 12 weeks old so it's hard to tell. They've been fighting and one of them now has a sore on his chest. It seems to be healing okay, but is there anything I need to be doing for him to help out? Should...

    When will my Muscovy father and son start fighting?

    So unfortunately I ended up with 2 girls and 4 boys in my brood of ducklings. I have decided to keep one of the males and get rid of the other 3 and my drake (their father). Trouble is that I have listed them on Craigslist and have continued to lower the price down to practically nothing and...

    Hello chicken enthusiasts! Back in April, I was only able to get two barred rock (due to some specific circumstances). I had them in the run for a few weeks, so that they would know that it was their home and such. My older flock, free ranges and would come and go from the run as they would...

    Is it possible to re-introduce roosters?

    Hi, I basically hatched 5 eggs in November last year and weirdly enough they were all boys. One started fighting another at a young age so I split them into 2 groups. The two groups are great with one another without hens, with only slight squabbling you’d probably see between hens anyway...
