    Blind Hen Getting Bullied

    Whenever I go out to the chicken coop, there is ALWAYS one hen, named Amber, who is up on the top roost. I'm pretty sure she's blind/visually impaired because she is not only afraid to get down from the roost, it also takes her several tries to get a beakful of food or water. She has pecked me...

    Bullying or pecking order?

    My 2 silkie hens grew up together and they are just over a year old now. This week the one started to peck and attack the other one. She is starting to get a bald spot on her head. Her feathers also seem to take long to grow out by her neck and torso. I assume she plucked some torso feathers as...

    My poor hen is bullied, lost her babies to snake

Three of them - she fought as well as she could, I thought she was going...

    Jewel needs a buddy!

    I have a seriously bullied, almost 2 year old hen. She has a BFF, Belle, but the other all pic on her, except for Sherbet. We are building a new chicken coop with a run, so they will no longer be 24/7 free ranging. I think that this might increase the bullying, even though the run will be...
