The Pecking Order

I never imagined chickens being cannibals but it happens. If you only have hens like me you will have a head hen. Chickens will eat each other and will eat their own eggs. I made the mistake of putting Patsy in the main coop and the next morning she looked like the chickens tried to eat her. We thought she wasn't going to make it but she did. We got her to stop bleeding with corn starch. Then we cleaned her and used an antibiotic ointment. We bought rooster booster  and it turned her purple but the chickens kept going after her. We ended up building her own coop that she shares with some docile chickens. She free ranges fine with all of them.
