Do you have a rooster? If not, Lynn could be taking on the “dominant” role and acting as rooster (check out http://www.backyardchickens.com). When she runs at you, try to grab her and carry her around with you as you do your chores. You need to show her that you’re in charge. My son does that with my roosters when they get a little bit too big for their britches, and he even carried one of them into the kitchen one night and showed him the stove, “where we cook chicken!” *LoL*

Hi Judy, I too enjoy your stories about cooking and chickens and quilting. Poultry was my project in 4-H club. Today I saw a very cute pillow with a chicken on it in the Pottery Barn catalogue. Keep up the good work. Sandra

Pin the one who is getting pecked up by herself until she heals.
They are needing protein. Shirley

Good luck with finding the problem chicken…….if I were mine and with only one chicken to clean…..I would load it up in a pen and take it to the Amish place to take care of the job for you!!!!

I was raised on a farm, so chicken catching, cleaning and dressing was a normal task. First thing is to catch the chicken, chop the head off, toss the bird away from from, once it stops flopping around .. I know more than you wanted to know … you need a bucket of HOT water, dip bird in to lossen the feathers, then start pucking the feathers off. Once that is done, the dressing of the bird can be done. That part I won’t give details… Good Luck!!
