pecked

So my big male rooster Junior who is Silver phoenix/Maran attacked one of our new roosters (Eagle) Tuesday, pecked out his left eye. The attack happened when I was moving chickens around and happened before I could grab him, I've contacted the vets and they can't get him in. I got a hold of a...

I have a less than 1-year-old rooster who has black spots all over his comb and the back of his head has been pecked at by one of our other roosters. His comb was sort of purple only at the tip about a week ago and we weren't sure what was wrong, recently it turned black and is more widespread...

Hello My chicken had been badly pecked on the head by another hen. I think it was happening for 30 minutes to one hour before I realised. (young Polish bantam, born May 2023) He was lying on the ground and lifeless when I rushed him inside. He is still alive. I cleaned the head, I’ve used...

Short version: I have a chicken that was pecked, one of her eyes is open but she keeps it half closed most of the time. Her other eye has movement underneath but she is not opening it mainly due to the fact that it wont open. Long version: This is a new chicken, she was doing well and then...

Hi - New chick mama here. I have 5 - 6 week old chicks of mixed breeds (not 100% sure of their breed). Yesterday, late afternoon I was checking on the girls and I noticed a red spot on one of them. Looking closer, it looked like one of the other chicks pecked its back and pulled a few...

I’ll try to keep this as short as possible so not to waffle, but don’t want to miss out any details! I had a young hen, Rihanna, being badly picked and pecked by one other hen, Barbara, (and sometimes her accomplice) in the summer. Rihanna’s poor tail feathers were almost non-existent and as...

I noticed this morning that two of my chickens got pretty picked on. One of their bottoms like like this. I’m worried. I have him/her(?) separated in a separated cage for now with food and water. What should I do?

We had one RIR hybrid left (Girl) and recently introduced 3 golden laced Wyandotte into our “flock” I watched Girl with them at first and she pecked them and took charge. Now she has stopped laying and looks like the below. Are those three new ones pecking her? If so, what do I do?!?!

My hen got her eyes pecked at, a mother hen just one day decided to attack her! She was laying flat upside down on the ground when we saw her in the morning, shaking and muddy I brought her in and cleaned out her eyes as best I could careful not to rub them too much It’s been 3 days now, the...

Ive recently hatched two silkie chicks out of 10 eggs. One of them really loves pecking the other one on the head, it had been happening since they first hatched, 4 days ago i noticed the one getting pecked acts really weird. He often tilts his head side by side weirdly like it was heavy or...

Hello, I have 6 chickens and they are different breads, I stole them from a school i worked at as they weren't being looked after properly. (They nearly died) I have one who has barely any feathers on her back and i've been finding blood splatters in their coop. Im very unsure what to do?

well I ran out of food the day before yesterday and I’ve had a bad cold so I haven’t been out to get any. Now it’s New Years and I don’t think the stores will be open tomorrow. Anyway it’s not like they are starving they part time free range and get scraps from me as well as my neighbor. But...

I've got a polish hen that is relatively high in the pecking order but has been getting pecked. I don't know what to do. It's the feathers on her head. A little bit of blood from the feathers coming out, but none from pecking. Separated her so she could heal and then put her back in. Again, the...

This is my 4th hatch; I feel awful! We had 10+ eggs and 2 hens incubating. They constantly stole each other's eggs, which I think lead to such a dismal hatch-rate. Day 1: We got one bantam Barnevelder chick, who was promptly pecked on both ears. (Mother's Day Weekend, no less!) I brought it...

I have 12 chicks that are now about 6 weeks old. Today I moved them from the brooder to a 5X5 Coop me and my Grandpa built. I noticed that one of my bantams head was missing quite a few feathers so as I looked deeper into this issue and I noticed some blood at the base of what was left of them...

I visited my grandma today and ended up taking home a hen who's been picked on. She's got a bloodied head, but seems otherwise fine, so I'm putting medicine on it and keeping her isolated. I just want to be sure this poop may just be caused by the lack of food, water, and strength rather than an...

I have 4 hens ( 2 Banties,an Americana, and a silken). All about 2 yrs old and a young rooster 5 months. Last night when I locked up the coop I noticed that one of my Little Banties was missing. This morning I found her in the coop dead under some leaves pretty beat up. Her back feathers torn...

To fully understand we must adventure back a couple days. Monday I noticed my Roo (Big Phat) was looking pretty mangy. He is approximately a year older than the rest of my hens. I acquired him from a friend who had ordered from the hatchery and received more than her fair share of Roo's. That's...
