Ive had the new one since mid April. She is still living/separated in her own coop except when I can supervise. They always go right after her whenever they see her.
I was just given an adorable silkie mix bantam. I keep her separated in a coop within my larger run so everyone sees each other! The problem is whenever I let her out, three of my four girls will attack her viciously (one likes her). They corner her and two will gang up on her and jump on her...

I have a sweet little Americauna who injured her leg and is now limping (not broken, sprained as per vet). I separated her from the others to allow her time to heal. She sleeps overnight in a dog crate. The other three still see her during the day and free range around the outside of the...
