I got them all as brand new chicks and they have lived together peacefully for the last 4 weeks. When you get a free exotic chick with your order, they don't tell you what it is. I noticed she was a little smaller as a brand new chick, but her size is more noticeable now and the markings are that of a Silver Seabright (and she has grey legs). I don't know for sure that is what she is. She will go in a coop with her 12 companions she has been raised with, with two brown leghorns. Later, if all is well, I will integrate our 6 other hens, who are 1 year old. They have a large coop and run (40x50) and will also free range part of the day.
Can you post a pic of her? Sebrights are not exotic, they are very common. Maybe you were given some other breed with silver lacing? Is she really tiny? Here's ours at 5 months w the brown leghorns who are the same age. Exotic or not, I think Sebrights are marvelous. Ours has laid 8 tiny eggs in the past 8 days......

If she is getting picked on I will either make her a protected areas within the coop or find her a new home. Thank you for your inputWhen I first got my chickens, I had 24 LF and 2 banties. one of the bantams was a rooster, Gladiator and the other was a little hen named Dorcas Galen. Besides the fact that the Gladiator was not allowed to breed, he was fine. My little Dorcas on the other hand, was pecked and chased around. I felt awful for her, so I fixed up a smaller coop for her and bought some bantam chicks. I now have 10 bantams in the smaller coop and Gladiator and Dorcas have never been happier.
.Ooh this mystery deepens! She could be something else, keep us updated w pics! It's really interesting to discover what you have.....
