    Lost another one

    I lost another chick today to the hens. It’s the fifth day since they were unintentionally integrated with two hens. I thought for the most part it was going well, but apparently not. I just ordered pinless peepers for the hens and it should come in tomorrow. I figure it would be easier to...

    Pinless Peepers Really Work! Stopped Chick Bullying!

    I was very skeptical of these goofy things, but wow are they amazing! After a failed incorporation attempt post 2 weeks of look-don't-touch, I put my new babies back into their fenced area and ordered some pinless peepers for my naughty hens. While putting them on was a ridiculous 20 minutes, I...

    Pinless peepers and egg laying

    I have a flock of six hens. I had to put pinless peepers on three of them about a month ago because of pecking issues and they solved the problem. Unfortunately the three with peepers have stopped laying. Has anyone else had the same experience? If so, what should I expect? Thanks in advance.

It looked like standard pecking order wars so I then removed the offending chicken. What happened when I did this is a whole slew of...
