Thanks for the advice on this subject...it now appears that things have settled a tad...and for the most part all is well.
The top bird still gives the White Sussex a dig every now and then..but nothing too extreme at present...will watch and see.
Cheers
Dave.
If I have to take out the bully bird...does the bully need to be out of sight....or can they see each other?
Sorry for the silly questions....
Cheers
Dave.
They seemed to have settled down a bit and the chasing has stopped for the time being...in the event that this continues I shall take out the bully for a weeks 'solitary' as per your suggestion.
Cheers
Dave.
Have done as you have suggested and it looks like to top bird is picking on her....
The top bird ignore's the other bird but picks on the Light Sussex.
Would colour have anything to do with this...both the top bird and the Bleu de Landes are dark and the the light Sussex is white?
Just a...
How long do some hens take to come out from their hiding places when they have been moved...my timid little baby is still in the coop....??
Cheers
Dave.
Thanks for the reply...I have made a makeshift feeder from a bean tin and a plastic dish and put a temp water bowl into the corner of the coop for her....
Many thanks
Dave.
