Hi All,
I am new to this forum, greetings!
My question is the following. I purchased a buff orpington and Rhode Island Red. When I treated them to worms early on they went ballistic and would play tug-of-war with them and just absolutely loved them. I introduced three more to the flock- an americana, wyadotte and amber white. They all go crazy for worms and totally fight (play) for them. The Rhode Island won't engage and even if you segregate her and try and feed a worm she is not interested. This perplexes me because she used to fight for them. She also has a very large comb which I don't know if this correlates with rooster-city? Her same aged counterpart barely has comb (the buff). So anyway, in brief very new to this and would appreciate feedback. Thanks in advance!
Best,
