My 6 week old buff sits all by herself away from the rest of the flock. They are all the same age. I even have another buff who is part of the flock but this one stays to herself. Even when they were younger she always laid down in a corner while everyone else was up walking around. She eats and drinks, and can walk around if she has to but chooses not to. Anyone know why she is like this? Is there something wrong with her?
 
One of my buffs was like that when we first got our birds - 7 buffs and 2 EEs. She is smaller than the rest of the flock, and still tends to be 'on the fringe' most of the time (they are 12 weeks now, we got them at 6 weeks). She is healthy and she isn't getting bullied, and she's always snuggled up with the others at bedtime so I'm not worried about it. She's my sweetest bird - she stay right by me when I got into their yard, and will pull on my pant leg or peck at my shoes til I pick her up. I think it's just her personality to be a bit aloof.
