OMG!!! I just typed for 20 minutes and hit the wrong key and deleted everything!!! Here goes again.
I have a flock of 27, 22 are raised from day old chicks. They are 6 months old. The other 5 including a Blue Ameraucana rooster ("Blu") I bought two and a half months ago from Golden Sunset...
Please help me figure out what happened. This morning I went into the coop to let my flock out and found my 17 week old Cuckoo Maran dead on her back with her legs up in the air on the floor of the coop. She was close to the door of the coop, so she must have gotten down from the roost on her...

I'm so upset. I have 3 four month old roosters who in general are quite nice to the other 23 two month old chicks. But not to one of my buff orpingtons. They gang up on her and peck at her. I've found her in the coop by herself, wedged in somewhere usually with her head behind something...
