Pouting chicken

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 

I recently got my first chickens.  A White Crsted Black Polish and a Golden laced Wyandotte.  They got along just fine and were laying an egg a day.  Three days ago I got 2 Brown ISA's.  They all bickered for the first day.  Then my Wyandotte seems to be the head hen now.  Teh little polish is for lack of a better word pouting.  She hasn't laid and egg for two days now.  She has been eating again today,  She just sits in the corner.  Is this normal??  One of the laid a rubber egg this morning too.  Not sure which one.

It seems like she is mad at me.

She is far more likely afraid of and being picked on by the two new hens.  Watch her crest.  Polish in mixed flocks frequently have their crest feathers removed by the other brds.
