When chicken gang up on one bird it is usually a sign that there's something wrong with that bird. So instinctively the other birds will try to drive it out of the flock.
very good point for sure!
I agree with you. Sometimes it best you take care of the problem yourself.
I’ll second this response. The injured chicken makes for a bad deal for other chickens because of other animals. Think of how you call coyotes you use a call that sounds like an injured animal. A chicken looking injured looks like a meal to a coyote and the other chicks don’t want outsiders to notice if you catch my drift. It’s survival not a pecking order although there is a pecking order.
Josh, I appreciate how you treat your animals and your land! 👍
If the chicken has a sore foot and is limping. Look to see if it is developing Bumblefoot.
Im loved video!
Thank you!!
Fab video Josh, thank you for the info - very much appreciated. Hope the chicken gains strength and recovers.
Poor bird, limpin ain’t easy 🐓
Love your videos, always fun and (more important) interesting to watch, thank you alot :)
thanks for the video.
You're welcome
People have a pecking order too. Consumers get pecked on everyday. 😂😂
Aww!! Them mean ole roosters !! So glad u watch ur animals and see if they r being harmed !! Hope she heals good and gains her weight back ! 🙏👍🏼👊🏻
Fowl bullying….didn’t know it existed so bad. Pecking order out of control.
G'Day from Australia 👋🐨🦘 Love your channel & what you do.
Re.: Harassed chicken
Usually the flock will pick on a 'unreliable' desirable member of the flock. That goes for geese, ducks, chooks etc.
The birds have an instinct to protect their group, by 'outing' other birds. Guaranteed this chicken is flawed in some way - be it health, genetics, temperament...who knows ? The flock & nature respond - self-preservation. That being said, I appreciate what you do & I love your videos
I hope the 'pecked' upon Chook darling recovers ❤ Many thanks 🌿🌳💕👍
5:44 little hen literally says OW OW OW when she gets picked up.☹ Poor little thing.
Nature sucks sometimes.
Love the stripes in the grass. Done with the Ventrac?
yes ventrac is what I mow with most of the time
Good day!!!

Any time a chicken is not able to defend itself or run away, the other chickens will peck it to death. I was holding a chicken down to trim it's wing when other chickens kept coming up to peck at it because they saw it was vulnerable. I also had a chicken that was almost killed by a racoon and the other chickens would not leave it alone. I separated it for about a week and it fully recovered and rejoined the flock.
Josh,may the pecked chicken get better soon 😮😊❤
Parakeets are also flock animals mostly every bird species is a flock animal parrots, parakeets and other pets birds also need a buddy or two I don't recommend buying two at once unless you get hand raised birds due to the need to tame them but if you get hand raised birds it's perfectly fine buying two or more at once. Fun little pet tip for you guys (I just found this channel and I love it)
@POPPY-LOVE59 has it correct! There must be something different about this particular chicken that the rest of the flock doesn't like or is scared of. Josh may have to keep that bird in a totally separate pen for life???
Hey Josh thank you for the video and the information too I didn't know anything about this that you should never really keep a bird alone by itself thank you Josh woo
Our last batch of chickens had this issue and I had to put them into our tractor to keep it safe until it healed up a bit. They are integrated and OK now. We're going to be downsizing our bird population and getting some sheep instead. They've been a money pit and we don't get enough eggs to make sense selling them. Will only be doing enough to give us eggs then will do meat birds in the tractor.
She looks terrible, poor thing. Have you checked her for bumblefoot? Bresse cockerels can be aggressive in larger groups.
They pick on and will kill the week or hurt and they are cannibals
Sounds like some chickens need to visit the freezer farm. Too many, and the message is out there is peck. Better they end up in your belly than suffer the pecking order.
You have to many roosters, that's the problem!!
yep....but they're not picking on any other birds but her
Funny story. I was a part time Ranger Police Officer I was dispatched to a Rape case at a park. I ran lights and siren to get there in a hurry. I get there and a lady is crying her eyes out and babbling hysterically. I calmed her down and I said I don't want ask you a bunch of question right now but can you describe the man that did this, about that time the Ambulance arrives. She said it wasn't a man the male Duck is attacking a Female Duck. I said you called 911 for Ducks! The Male duck bites the Female ducks head while mating to the point the Female ducks head bleeds. Oh wait there's more! A few months go by and I see the same lady in the same park chasing ducks so I stop her she had little helmets for the Female Ducks! I was crying trying to hold back my laughter.🤣
people are super bright sometimes aren't they! lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer 🤣
The sun seems angry these days🫤
Went from yellow to white
That's how to be a good DR.again circle of life the strong survive its the blood the others smell injury and peck away good luck great viedo
My uncle had chickens and got lucky that none of his birds pecked on one another. Only issue he had was one got out of the pen and his Husky killed it.
yep...gotta train your dogs to be around chickens as soon as ya get them! That's for sure!
Morning SRF
All animals have a pecking order. But usually chickens will kill once one starts to bleed.
Sounds like my Deli work! ha
I know it's natural, but I hate the whole pecking order thing.. 😔🐔❤
I would think that large flock should be separated into several smaller flocks, like what Jeff does over on Bobblehead Homestead.
it's just nature my friend....nature culls out the weak!
I Want 12 Hens
Remove roasters from coop
What does it mean when you say you have a first generation farm?
Pretty sure its josh starting his farm from scratch 👍🏻
means there was no farm here before I built it. Not passed down from generations...I bought the land and built a farm from nothing
Do the chickens have large talons?
nope just feet my brotha...some chickens are "game birds" which have longer and more dangerous claws
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer
My reply was a quote from Napoleon Dynamite. A funny movie.
Is this because of too many chickens in one encolsed place and causes agitation between the chickens?
this hen isn't roosting with the rest my friend.....it's because she's injured and weak...no other chickens are being bothered at all
let Natural Selection Be, there's a reason for it,, don't contaminate your farm with weakness,,, you will soon realize that your effort was selfish,,,,, just saying !!
uh...sometimes a hen like this could get injured and just needs some recovery time...I guess I selfishly saved the hen and she's doing much better now ...not sure "selfish" is the word here my friend lol
@@StoneyRidgeFarmer yes I agree, I could have chosen a better word
Why the heck do you have all those roosters talk about pecking order
Meat birds
roosters are what hatched...and they were to be butchered as meat birds
