I just picked up a Wyandotte chick to add with my four other chicks. They are all about the same size/age. She might actually be older than the rest. Any tips on a smooth transistion. She is severely stressed out. Everyone is leaving her alone. My Brahma chick tasted her down a bit but no pecking. Just a sample taste. I put her up on the highest rung on the baby roost ladder I have in their brooder. But she's really an unhappy camper. Panting, trilling and keeping her eyes closed. I feel horrible.
