We need to speak to Management.
Last Wednesday I discovered that my chickens had mites. Poor girls- I check them regularly, but it turns out the mites are not evenly distributed, and so had me fooled. Dottie and Fez were the hardest hit, while Whiskey and Albert had none detectable, for...
That is a lovely place to rest. Will you bury her or leave her?
I don’t doubt the attacking chickens could have complex reasons for their actions- it’s interesting that you are able to go back in the footage and see that it may not have been thoughtless at all. If perhaps still brutal.
I’ll bet your chicks, like mine due to how I’m set up, won’t integrate until they’re at point of lay. All you need to do right now is give them a safe place to live and play in view of the big girls so they don’t get bothered too much. Within a week or two there will be relative peace, but they...
Sounds like the silkie agreement has gone sour. Sorry 😕 That’s a good solution to give them the MM. I do selfishly hope we get to see pictures of the silkie chicks at some point :fl

Tax:
The marans pullet who got rehomed.
...time, this is the reception I get. All these adults are so hopeful! But there are the chicks, right there with the adults.
Anyhow, this has been *knock on wood* the smoothest integration ever. It’s far from over, but so wildly peaceful. The adults are so much more chill with the Grayscales...
I have a nice collection of Twofers for you all:
Whiskey and Quincy om nom noming their morning cereal.
“What?” Whiskey tries to give me a hard stare, but Quincy’s is quite something to behold.
Summoning the chicks from their mini coop because I was going to let them out to mingle with...
