I’m new to this but I’ve been told to always move the bully, not the one being bullied. Moving the Bully gets her knocked down some notches on the pecking order and that supposedly makes her behave better when she is reintroduced to the main flock again
My grandma said to never just have two different colors. She said, “birds of a feather flock together, is true, and when there’s only two different kinds, they will be against each other.”
She also cautioned to never have all one kind and adding just one bird Whois different, that’s asking for trouble.
Your collie is just like mine. Always running around the chicken pen
He loves to herd the chickens.
Have you considered getting a Rooster? He could stop the majority of this “pecking order” as he keep ALL of his ladies in line from biggest to smallest! Easy remedy if you don’t mind a little crowing!!
Thank you. Yes, I have thought about it. I have been try to weigh the pros and cons for a rooster for some time now.
@@CountryLivingExperience Crowing is a bonus I enjoy the sound but a rooster with a few hens will have their backs rubbed raw in short order I don't hatch eggs so my big red roo is going away
@@jimbull6630 some roosters are very nice and take care of their hens though, I used to have one who was crazy about the hens, never mated them, called them for treats, and would protect them when there was literally nothing. Easter egger roosters are often very nice roosters
I love having a rooster he definitely put the cabash on bullying. There are 9 hens. They are fine.
I have just a handful of chickens, a barred rock, 2 Rhode Island reds, and a buff Orpington. The barred rock is at the top of my flock’s pecking order followed by the bigger of the two reds. The smaller red (which is the smallest bird of the flock) and the Orpington are at the bottom. The Orpington in fact is the most docile but friendly chicken I’ve ever seen. I’m thinking of getting more of them as I build out my flock
I have thought about getting some Orpingtons. I heard they were very sweet.
I have found that each chicken keeper has a different level of tolerance for acceptable natural pecking order. When I would separate some, my best friend says, eh unless someone is bleeding it is best to let them sort it themselves. That being said, I have come to know there are breeds that are more compatible than others. And I tend to steer clear of those bossy breeds. And as far as a rooster goes, he will eliminate the fussing to a certain degree, but with him comes a new set of problems.
Good thoughts. I'll work through it.
Good morning from NC! I have been enjoying watching y’all’s videos the last few weeks as we are first time chicken owners. We just moved our 6 week old chicks into the coop yesterday ( we were hoping to get it done earlier but we underestimated the time it took to build a coop 😂). We have 4 barred rock, 4 golden comets, and 4 black australorps. We will definitely keep this in mind if they can’t get along! Keep up the great content!
Good morning and hello. I appreciate the kind words and good luck with your chickens.
I have a couple of Barred Rocks and they are feisty. They have their own coop, but I do allow them out w/the others if I'm outside w/them. They are my brats and I still love them ♡
They always seem to want to fight other chickens but they are sweet with us.
@@CountryLivingExperienceYes! Mine are super sweet w/other Barred Rocks and w/me, but too rowdy w/my other chickens.
I have just introduced two new 5 month old hens to my existing flock of three 8 month old hens, I let them free range and keep the door to thier run propped open which has roosting bar in there, I also have a few sawhorse's throughout the yard to provide refuge for the new hens as everyone sorts out the new pecking order. It's only been a week and a half and I see already thing are calming down and the new hens are starting to integrate with the older girls, oh also when I feed them leftovers I spread it over a large area so the new girls don't get left out.
Basically I think you have to let then sort it out, hard to do if they're penned up without a place to escape, good luck
Yep, after this fiasco, I have let them sort it out themselves. They almost killed one Rhode Island but I was able to nurse her back to health. I need a rooster to help keep the peace.
Your dog is hilarious!
True. I watched the dog more than the chickens! I have a Scotch collie that does that same thing.
great news and i still will be a small amount of 3 chickens only. I hope this is going to be fantastick.......i shall see
Love that dog!! Funny to see the ware marks in the grass
Yep. He tries to herd the chickens all day long.
At ;44 either a Sasquatch goes behind you or your border collie. Being a border collie owner myself I think it’s the latter
I had a Cinnamon and Nutmeg 😍. They were ISA's.
It is universal in all breeds, all colors. It is I suppose a survival strategy. Chickens are a matriarchal society with a dominant hen. I learned over the years that a rooster helps keep order, and if you live in a place compatible, free ranging allows the bottom of the "pecking order" means of escape. Eventually, it all evens out when the hen's learn to respect the order. Only once in 50 years of practicing these simple steps did I have to put down a hen that was just savage, even to the rooster! lol Best of luck, and thanks for the video. R.
Thank you for sharing your experience. We have a rooster now. Splitting them worked in the past. I am working on a much bigger coop and run. Unfortunately we cannot free range here.
I would suggest moving the birds at night. There’s no need to catch them, just pick them up off the roost.
My Barred Rocks are not really bad bullies but they do stand up for themselves. Didn't you use to have Bielefelder chickens?
It is strange mine started being bullies after 1 year of living in harmony. No, these are the only breeds I have had.
I always thought it wad best to remove the bully from the flock until a new pecking order is established. Then the bully is no longer at top
That is essentially what I did but I just left them separated.
I can spot a mistake. you didn't introduce your dog to the chooks correctly. the dog is hunting the chooks and not the foxes and air predators. You need to leash the dog when it's out with the chooks until it calms down around them, about two or three weeks. then you unleash and body block your flock from the dog and just stand there and stare at the dog. If it looks at the chooks you growl NO! Then continue to body block. repeat the leash for two days on every bolt. I guarantee things will change.
I hope that my 6 barred Plymouth rocks are better behaved
Hidy. Why do you not let the roam? I have a 10x12 run and I feel guilty not letting them out. The hawks around here got one of the babies, which are locked up now. I have neighbors on 3 sides with acres and they all let theirs roam. What are your thoughts on that? I do have 4 dogs large to little and they leave them alone.
We do not free range our chickens because we have way too many predators. Hawks, owls, coyotes, raccoons, fox, wild dogs, and my dog.
Good luck, I hope it works (Don't let nature win!) Nothing needs to suffer - If we (Humans) can mitigate it (its always better to have a "little" help
Yep, I’ll try all that I can.
How has your metal coop held up? Do you get heavy snow where you're at?
Hello. It has held up perfectly. No issues at all. We don't get much snow here at all.
Crazy to hear this because all I've ever been told is Barred Rocks are the most docile breed and it would typically be the Reds messing with THEM. Guess there's no exact science to this 🤷
That is what I am finding out too. My rocks are gentle with me and my daughters but they fight with all my other chickens.
I have four Barred Rocks they are HUGE! I think they are better left to themselves. My girls get along fine, but they have plenty of space.
Where did you buy the cage in this video? Is it sturdy?
Hello. Here is the link to the coop....Metal Chicken Run: amzn.to/3mePCUT and here is the video we did on how to assemble it......ua-cam.com/video/O58qvDYtQJI/v-deo.html
Amusing to see the Border Collie compulsively trying to herd everybody during the whole video.
He is hilarious and never stops.
Dog is too hype, that might stress them, too!
Barred rocks are known to be real bullies. I have one and she killed one of my 10 week old chicks last year and my dads friends git a flock and put a hen in (some other breed of layer) and they cornered her and pecked it to death.
Wow! I never knew that about barred rocks. Separating them has helped a lot.
I have heard this as about barred rocks. I currently have 2 adult rocks and 3 black astralorps. My astralorps are the bullies. My rocks are lovely.
@@kathmandu2285 it varies but most of the time I find if there's a large number of them or there's a big size difference than they can become bullies. I saw mine eying up my 3 day old chicks today through the fence.
@@cornishchickens6778 I have 6, 3 week old chicks in their separate warm bin for now until they are feathered. They will all be big girls eventually. I am adding another barred rock, a Colombian rock, 2 buff orpingtons, and 2 slivered laced wyandottes. We have a coop within a coop and my plans are to keep them separate but within view until the little girls are the size of the big girls. I sure hope this works! The five big girls free range under my supervision and all get along fine. But there can be lots of arguing over the preferred nesting box. Yeah, I am a bit nervous about the future transition.
@@kathmandu2285 when the chicks were about half the size of my br and the mother was around she left my chicks alone and even now where they're fully grown only one of those chicks cause trouble with my br. She's calmed down now she isn't top hen to so that could be something to consider to.
I would definitely think the RHODE ISLAND REDS would be the bully
Yet they weren’t
Hi i just got duck what kind of cute should I have cuz I live in Ohio on it so too cold for them to be outside
Ducks can endure fairly cold weather. I am not a duck a expert. There are some big duck channels you should check out.
@@CountryLivingExperience thank you!
If ya had um for while and not laying make a nice chicken dinner ?
Umm, no. They are a year old.
The reason you are having that problem is because you have NO ROOSTER(S)
