There will be a natural pecking order and the dominate hen will assure it. Don't get too worried about it.
The chicks might offer a bottle of wine to them. :)
Yes welcome to the Alabama page....
I am wanting to thin down my Black Australorp flock. These girls have just started laying over the past few weeks. So a lifetime of egg production is ahead of them. I am asking $15 for the better quality hens.
These all know to come in the hen house in...
I have seen raccoon skunk and dogs foxes and cototes and recently fended off a redtail hawk from attacking. That was just being in the right place at the right time. My neighbor had been warned i will spend a dollar on his dog. That goes for for any other varmit. A bear might be able to get in...
I moved my ducks out about 10 days ago. They were 3 weeks old. Now they have buddied up with older ducks and roam the homestead. I normally turn chickens out 3 to 4 weeks regardless of weather. Shelter is there for them
U my last horse would stand in a stall and stick head out door during the rain.
Lol Tali i have some lops ready for mine in the morning.
My ducks didn't want to go back in tonight
My black australorp pullets are now hens....got my first 3 eggs this morning. One did get broke in the nest though.
They are small but if they are like my older BA that won't last long.
