My blind hen is getting SEVERELY bullied to the point of broken skin and missing a LOT of feathers. We can’t give her a good enough home here, and if anyone is in or near our location who takes in injured or disabled hens, we need to rehome her FAST before she gets so badly hurt that there might...
I couldn’t find an answer to this anywhere - so I’d really appreciate any help!
I have a flock of 4 hens, no rooster. 2 Anconas and 2 Blue Cuckoo Marans.
All are the same age - bought together as chicks, raised together.
Three of them get along great. But one of my Marans (She’s physically...
My pullet has been picked on off and on for about 2 months. At first she only got chased. They started plucking feathers a few weeks ago, but it wasn't bloody so I left her in. Last week her back got really bloody, so I made her a saddle. Now her back is healing, but yesterday everyone was...
Hello,
I was given a hen by a friend, that had been attacked by her dog. I sprayed her wound with antiseptic spray that was pink. That was almost 2 months ago and her underside is still pink.
In my existing flock I have 1 silkie rooster, and 2 silkie hens, and now with the pink one, makes 3...
Hi everybody. I have a 6-7 month old Black Australorp hen, she is really sweet and friendly with us and got sick suddenly. She gets bullied a lot by the other hens and a few days ago when we saw her a little weak, we brought her inside to eat and drink.
Right now she is inside in a cage. She...
One of my pullets is getting picked on a lot. She's had a small bald spot for a few days, but this evening I noticed some blood. She was doing really well at first. Recently, the roo has been mounting her a lot and she really freaks out. After that some of the other hens started picking on her...
My chickens bully my pullet (SOMETIMES) and i want to know how to have them get along and not fight. They have been doing better but, it is still a bit of a problem. This is the pullet I am talking about. She is a Faverolle.
I’ll try getting a picture tomorrow, chooks currently roosting and would rather let the poor thing rest.
Basically I put this chook in with the others after it got old enough and while they’ve been picking on the poor thing for the past few months its been in there it’s always been able to get...
Your expert opinions would be much appreciated! Our little French Wheaten pullet has black things on her face. At first I thought she might have hurt herself or maybe got pecked by the others, but it seems to be getting worse now. Can you guys please take a look at the pics? Do you think it...

Hello- I have 9 laying hens about a year old.. docile different breeds. Today I noticed my favorolle head to be more bald and what looks like plucked. Also, her throat is losing feathers and looks to be plucked. Is this bullying.. or a disease? Please if someone knows what this is and how to...
Hi everyone!
We have a backyard flock of five, living in a coop and our Polish is getting bullied but we don't know whois the culprit or if there is more than one. We have the Polish, an EE, a Frizzle, a Barred Plymouth Rock and a Mystery Hen (maybe a New Hampshire Red? or just some other...
So I’m quite new to chickens and I got some 11 week old pullets about 1 week and half ago. My family outvoted me and decided we needed to also get one laying hen. About 3 days ago we picked up this frizzle hen from a sketchy Craigslist lady. The Craigslist lady says that she is if laying age but...
