Help, new home needed for 2 bully chickens:(

Post by Rks44 »

I really need help, we have 2 bully hens that we have tried and tried to intergrate into our flock but its not working at all so have now had to come to the horrible decision that they need to be rehomed ASAP. We are based in sussex but i can deliver to a good home. They are about 1 year old and both lay every day even through the winter. If anyone can help please message me. Thanks

Hi sorry to hear about your bullies!
Can you give us some more information to help find them the right home. Breed/size??
Do they free range or are they in a fixed area?
Sometimes bullying starts from boredom but unfortunately once a hen is picked on quite often others in the flock will join in.
Anything else you can think of that will assist a potential rehomer.......

Hi, they are a belle blue & barred rock, they don't free range but have very large walk in run and lots of hanging things to keep them occupied. We have tried everything to intergrate them but are now having to have them seperated from the others. They chase the other hens and pin them down and peck them, its constant and even when we try to get them off they keep going:( its not fair on our other girls. Any help is appreciated, many thanks
