Hello From the OC California.

First time Chicken owner. Having fun so far. I have 3... A blue laced red wyndotte, a golden sex-link, and a buff orphington.  They are about 5-6 weeks old.  The buff was introduced to the other two a few days ago and the smaller wyndotte pecked her a lot.  She finally got fed up with it, and defends herself now, although I had to deal with a blood pecking frenzy by separating the wyndotte for a day which seemed to work.  I guess she got a little revenge for the initial pecking welcome.   Any suggestions are welcome.

1 Blue Laced Red Wyandotte (Kung Pow).  1 Buff Orphington (Cashew).  1 Golden Sex-Link (Spicy).  1 Yellow Lab (Emma). 1 California Desert Tortoise inherited from my grandparents (Spot).

Hi and welcome-byc.gif from Ohio. So glad you joined. Anytime you get a little blood on a chick, you can put what is called Blu kot on it. It is a wound coating that helps hide the red which causes the chickens to peck. thumbsup.gif
