They are 17 weeks old and not laying yet. Yes she puts her whole body against her. They are choosing not to roost but go in the the crate they came in. There is definitely enough space to roost I usually have around 8 chickens but we had an animal attack in the fall and lost 5 .. I can’t take a...

Hello everyone, I have introduced 2 new specked Sussex to my flock. On top of the pecking order is my australorp then my two black sexlinks. They have been welcoming to my newcomers. But one of my new speckled Sussex will bully its sister non stop draw blood even got the tip of her beak. The...

I’m sorry English is my second language I’m probably not explaining it right let me try again. The two new girls are separate from my flock day and night. During the day they go out together the two of them in to the run. My fock goes out and free ranges. At night the two new girls were together...

I always introduce them while free ranging. The new bully is the new one I got they were already together when I bought them, sister … so I’m confused why this is happening. Neither seem sick walk around and eat and drink well. The two new ones are still completely separate from my flock they...

Hello everyone! This is my third year of having chickens and have been lucky enough to never have had a bully. I had a flock of 8 but had an animal break in and steal 5 … very sad. I went to our local feed and got 2 16 week old speckled Sussex. The first day I didn’t notice much. Today I caught...

Im thinking she might have had a underlying condition as well she was way smaller then my other girls but the same breed.

Thank you . She turned 1 in April and was my best layer .. they eat purina organic layer pellets but leave most of it they are free range.

Thank you. Will do!

Hi everyone. Came in to the coop this afternoon to find one of my girls dead. She was running around this morning pecking in the field. I know they are good at hiding if something is wrong but I’m really wondering if it was the air quality we where in the worst zone midd Pennsylvania Anyone...

So she is a mix between Kangal and a Bernese mountain dog I’m now wondering if there is something else in her that we don’t know about just so weird after years of such good behavior. and the chicken is the lowest on the pecking order I don’t know if that has anything to do with it ..

Im thinking of doing the same .. the only thing is she is properly trained and is one of my 2 lgds. Had her for years has never killed a single thing not even my baby chicks . I have no idea what got in to her. I also don’t know how to approach this because I want her to follow them around still...

She is properly trained that’s what makes me so baffled by this we have had her for years and never went through anything like this .. never killed a single thing. We have 2 and my other dog knew not to get involved and was pacing in front of my door trying to tell me . She seems so be doing ok...

Her breathing seemed fine eyes where very wide but she never got op on her perch for the night .. hopefully it’s just shock but i think it might be more serious. We will see as soon as the sun is up 🙏

I have never had a problem with my dog she is trained very wel and never touched any of my chickens over the years she even protects them from outside critters. Today I look outside and she is dragging one of them through the yard and shook her .. it’s awful I have no idea what started this. She...
