hen attack

  1. Gababbay

    Our family is completely devastated, our frizzle died!

    We found her in a corner with a single puncture wound to the side of her head. There was feathers throughout the coop. A couple of chunks of feathers seemed to have skin I didn’t notice anything but the puncture wound on her body. The puncture wound is a small and deep wound. We are completely...

    PLEASE HELP INJURED EYES

    Someone recently gave us a rooster and a hen a couple days ago and we noticed the hen was just in the corner getting bullied & noticed neither of her eyes will open. Their previous owner said it was because he had 2 roosters and 1 hen and they injured her eyes. She was also a regular layer and...

    Rooster Singling out Single Hen

    I am curious about this issue I have with rooster “aggression”. I have one hen out of 10 that is constantly bullied by the rooster, but it did not start out that way. It started out by the rooster trying to mount her and her always dodging his attempts. He’s never gotten to mount her before...

    HELP!! Hen attacked by dog!

    Our almost year old hen, Mrs Peaches, was attacked by our dog. He was holding her by the neck in a muddy puddle so her face was covered in mud. I’ve wiped her nostrils clean. I took her inside to give her a bath and while rinsing her off, noticed she had an open wound in the middle of her back...

    Have you ever had a hen attack a bird that was attacking you?

    One of my Speckled Sussex hens, Ruby, is quite the character. She's 4 years old now and is generally a calm, curious, and gentle hen. I was outside snuggling her today and it made me remember last year when she attacked my gander who was attempting to attack me (this was in the spring, when he's...

    Hen with super shredded backside, seems ok but not sure

    My 3 yr old hen charlie was recently beaten up by a group of pullets and had her backside almost completely skinned. We put "new-skin" on her back, it serves as a liquid bandage and scab. She has been isolated and given food and water and blankets. Breathing is normal, and she is stable on her...

    (Graphic) Injured Chicken, Not Sure What Predator

    Looking for advice for my hen. Came home from work to find her outside of the coop perched our wood pile. Usually she goes in with the other hens at night. Recently, I have seen an opossum hanging out around the coop sometimes. Any idea what could do something like this? She was attacked...

    What got my hen?

    I went out this morning to my coop which is surrounded by a dog kennel to find the door open. The night before I had that door closed properly. Well this morning my girls were trying to come out, so I got them back inside the run where they belong to discover one gone. At first I thought she had...

    Re-introducing injured hen to flock

    I had a hen that got mauled by a predator and barely made it. I had her isolated from the main flock for 6 weeks while she mended. This week she hopped out of her pen and was over near the divider to the main coop so I figured she was ready to return (probably lonely all alone). But I get the...

    Favorite Chicken Suddenly Attacking Me!

    Why is this happening?!? The baby of my flock, who has just come into lay about a month ago has started attacking me and drawing blood. She's always been a mama's girl and hand raised since a day old. Lately, she's been sneaking up on me and pecking me mercilessly, to the point of drawing blood...
