So I have 6 chickens, 2 Wyandotte’s, 2 buff rocks, and 2 whiting true blues and they are all about 23-24 weeks old.
I just picked up two 13 week Australorps after losing 2 Wyandotte’s. When I first put the new girls in the coop there was some curiosity and they were checking the new girls out but nothing serious. I went back out there a few hours later and the new girls were hiding in the corner and one had been pecked enough that she had a little blood
I put the two new girls in a large dog crate inside the coop so they’re with the flock but at the same time separated from them but I’m looking for advice from veteran chicken owners on how long they need to be in that crate or just general advice…
I was so sad that one girl had a little blood on her and to me that was bullying gone to far but is that normal? Any tips or advice is appreciated!!!
