In the Brooder
Hi! I am new to having chickens and this is our first winter (New Hamphshire). We have 6 chickens of varying types of but all are cold weather breeds. We got them all at the same time as chicks and all was well until 2 months ago when our smallest (and sweetest) was found bloodied in the coop. We separated her while she healed but when we put her back with the flock they attacked again. After 2 weeks of "playdates" I left her in with the flock, she was obviously pecked but seemed ok so I thought all was well. But the other night it was going down to 14 degrees F and she was outside the coop in the run by herself. (They have plastic on the door to go in and out). I put her in, but she went back out while everyone else stayed in. Are the others forcing her out? Can she survive alone in the run by herself at these temperatures? I can't neefind an answer to this anywhere. Thanks for any help!!!!
