Chirping
We're somewhat new at this, we rescued our adult male Pekin in February, and now we have three 6-week old silver appleyard ladies.
We have been trying to introduce the three younger ladies to the Pekin drake. It seems they are bullying him! Mostly they stay apart, but when they get near, they often chase him, peck him, even jump on him. He has always been skittish, and is dealing with bumblefoot, so he just runs awkwardly away. Occasionally one of the ladies will even go after him from across the yard.
Has anyone experienced something like this, or any advice on integrating them?
