There's only one roo in the coop with her. The others were separated after the second attempt to introduce her. She cowers from even the tiny bantam hens. It's not just the roosters she's afraid of, it's the entire flock.
It's pitch black here, so I can't grab pictures until tomorrow. If it helps, I've got 3 Jersey Giant/Orpington cross roos, 3 Jersey/??? cross hens, an old Orpington hen, a handful of mixed bantam hens, and this new cali/austra/RIW/whatever she is. The coop is an amish built 5x7ft and the extra...
Sorry, I'm not really sure what you're asking. Pictures of my birds and the coops?
As far as her comb, it wasn't horrible, but bad enough that I needed to separate her for two weeks so it could heal.
I always keep multiple feeders and waterers in the coop, but the hen won't even come off the roost if the others are in the coop with her. The poor thing is terrified of my flock, even though they don't bother her :hmm
I was planning to stick my Jersey Giant cross with her if all else fails. She's a sweet hen but she's very attached to the other hens in the flock, so it's a last resort. Nothing like having two stressed chickens in the same coop. :confused:
Ignoring the cringeworthy username that I made when I was 15, here I am after years of not logging into BYC. But I'm at a loss with my newest addition and would like a second opinion on what to do with her.
I recently adopted a hen, she seems to be a California White, Austra White, RIW, or some...
6 little ones hatched perfectly happy and healthy There's one egg left that hasn't pipped, maybe I'll candle quickly to check for an internal pip when I move the little ones to the brooder tonight.
