I have a one year old hen who's been sitting a lot in the nest box recently, I've had to carry her outside a few times but nothing too serious, as well as removing the eggs.
Today she did a little dance I'll try to describe it here
She scratched the ground a few times in place making sure...
My gold laced Wyandotte Muffin is getting her comb pecked by the other flock members (they all have single combs)
How do I stop this and what can I do? I made a post like this last time, then it healed and now it's started back up again :(
Sorry if the picture's blurry, she wouldn't stop moving...
Here's two of my black australorp pullets. I've used a bunch of different names for them, but nothing really stuck, so I'd like to see what names you can come up with
They're almost a year old and the other two black Australorps are named Lucky and Rita. ❤️
Today I saw Potato on one of the Black Australorp pullets! Blackberry was crouched down and Potato was pecking at her comb. Potato is a big heavy bird and it must've been stressful for Blackberry
Why did she do this?
This morning, one of the pullets had mysteriously escaped. We chased her around the neighbor's yard for a few minutes until we got her close to the fence.
She finally understood what we were trying to do so she jumped over it while flapping!
What's crazy about this is she is a fat little bird...
One of my pullets keeps trying to fly onto the windowsill, even when it's closed. Today I opened the window but she did this thing where she sat down and made short clucking sounds very quickly for a few seconds. Has anyone else's birds done this before?
