My back yard flock is 3 blk australorpes and one wyandotte. River is the head of the flock and Pearl the wyandotte is low man on the list. River went broody and I could not break her so I found someone with fertile eggs and put some under her. She hatched only one she is a good mom and we have her and peep in a separate run. Peep is 4 weeks old and we have begun to let River and baby out in the yard with the other girls. Rory and Edwin don't care but Pearl attacks River! She is pulling her feathers out. Enough is enough, so peep and Pearl are going to a new home, I got 3 new peeps and tried to put them under River but she pecked at them. Does anyone have a special way of getting her to accept new chicks or was I just out of my mind getting 3 new chicks?
