Long-Term Flock Management and Predator Awareness

those other two birds will come out that chicken was not clean at all be sure when you're handling your chickens that you wash your hands really good it's definitely a high salmonella risk that's what's in chicken and that's what can get you sick if I were to rub my eyes I could get pink eye or something like that potentially so that's what I do when it comes to a chicken getting picked on by other chickens You Hear The Roosters there's probably 40 roosters in this group and there's about 70 full grown chickens in that coup the next video you'll probably see if you haven't already seen it will be hooking to this and we're going to pull it out into the pasture and show you how that all works again if you have a chicken that it's being pecked on and picked on you've got to separate it do not separate it with out a friend okay if it's a hin a small hin put another small hin with it just like we had over there if it's a rooster and it's being picked on often times the end for that rooster will be the frying pan I hate to say that but that often times is the end if you can react to this quickly you can save the chicken will that hen ever ever be able to come back in and mix with this group of chickens the answer is probably not so if you have this issue if you have this problem and you've got to separate a hen be sure you separate it don't isolate it don't put it alone because it will die of loneliness pretty much Guys these are animals birds of a feather flock together these chickens flock together they're flock animals and you don't want to have just one it's not a parakeet okay so hopefully you guys have learned a little bit here today on the Stony Rich Farm that's what we do when we have to isolate a chicken that's being pecked on and picked on it's a horrible thing but it is part of nature even my cattle have a hierarchy in their herd and some cows push other cows around more even donkeys horses they bite each other they kick each other they'll hurt each other goats also any type of farm animal is going to have a pecking order thank you guys so much hit that like button subscribe to the channel if you have any further questions please post them down there and I'd love to have you back here on farm with me it's a great time here
