However, the last week they have been staying in their run (even though their large run door is open to free range) and eating...

    Aggressive Buff

    We are long time chicken folks and have always raised Buff Orpingtons. Because of the pandemic we had to use Hoover Hatchery, which was new to us. Our buffs in this batch are terribly, horribly aggressive. Has anyone else had this issue? thanks!

    Hi, this is my first post. I have a pet rooster (1yr old) who has recently stopped crowing all together and won't stop pecking me when I come close to him.
