Re: [CHICKENS-101] Re: "hen pecked"

 

You wrote that her crops was full of fluid in an earlier post.  My dear white old rock rooster died last week.  He had bad frostbite on one of his wattles and part of his comb.  I think one of the cockerels jumped him and he got them wet.  He was one of the smartest chickens I have ever had, even though I doctored him, he never seemed completely sturdy and then passed away.  I miss him and do not want another.

My hen seems healthy crop wise. She is eating but she is very shy and seems scared of the others. I took out the less aggressive hen(#2) and put her back in with the others and put the next smallest (#3) in with (#1). They are fine together in the cage but when given the barn #1 stays by herself but in the cage they are together. The cage is large about 2' x 8' and 4' high. I am going to keep these 2 together until Wed. I have off that day so I can keep an eye on them. I think I will put 1,2 and 3 together and see what happens. The remaining 3 are the most aggressive. I will be off work all next week so I will work on those 3 then.
