bringing it all back home ... Korean Retort Chicken Soup

So wait the general consensus is that the humane thing is to kill the chicken even if shes not ill?
@KLITE woot! I found a solution for you. Get your chicken her own primate, works almost every damn time, I'll bet.

@KLITE : There's not a lot you can do. It's a literal pecking order. Happened to ours all the time. For some weird reason all the rest attached the Polsih Crested breeds. Those poor gals were just ragged and eventually did die. A rooster may help, but we tried with and without roosters and it still happened. Nature can be a harsh bitch.So wait the general consensus is that the humane thing is to kill the chicken even if shes not ill?

Do you raise for meat? eggs? both?
Hi all
I have 4 hens that i keep wild style in my farm, i dont even lock em in at night. Up until now theyve always gone in pairs and seemed pretty cool with eachother. However now one of them i think has been singled out by the others. Shes all fucked up with half broken feathers and bits of skin showing and the like while the others are all fat and lush, pretty sure they dont let her eat too much.
I feel kinda sad for that chicken shes always chilling alone now and looks marginalized. Any suggestions? Get a rooster to get them in order? Get another couple of chickens see if they make a different gang?
Thanks
Mix a little glycerin with that potassium permanganate for the extra crispy chickenIt's a tough situation. You can isolate her but that won't be a happy chicken. You can leave her to the ministrations of her chicas but again not a happy bird. As Annie said they usually go nasty on a flockmate for a reason.
Try maybe putting some potassium permanganate in her water. This could be a bacterial or parasite issue and permanganate is a broad-spectrum treatment.
Diet
1. Potassium permanganate can be used to treat diarrhea. (Potassium permanganate is the inorganic chemical compound with the formula KMnO4. It is a salt consisting of K+ and MnO4– ions. Formerly known as permanganate of potash or Condy’s crystals. It is a disinfectant for the drinking water.
Dissolve 1 tablespoon in 1 quart of warm water. Feed each chicken 1 tablespoon of the concentrated solution diluted in 1 cup of warm water. In a case of severe diarrhea you may need a stronger solution, one that is potent enough to turn your finger slightly brown when you dip it in the liquid. Do not keep the potassium permanganate mixture in a metal container.
