Hi all, We are new to keeping chickens and have a question regarding adding new chickens to the flock.
A month ago we purchased 4 chickens from a battery farm and two weeks later we added 2 new chickens, one has been accepted but the other is being constantly pecked and excluded to the point where it will not enter the coop at night but will instead stay outside in a dirt hole, I have to carry it into the coop, we don't think it is laying either. Are there any pointers to getting it excepted by the others hens? Thanks in advance for any help
