Adding another baby?

[acnava4]

My hubby felt bad he hadn't grabbed the australorp I was talking about, so he came home with her tonight. I put her in with my 4 Buff Orps and they're being aweful mean

they aren't letting her at the food or water, and when she tries to rest they peck at her. What do I do??

Did you put them in together after dark? They say that doing this helps for the adjustment of the flock. Hope this helps some.

Whew! They're already doing better. They were body checking her out of the way when she'd try to get food/water. She's eating/drinking now and they seem to be accepting now...she was the new girl at school for a little bit though! I thought I was going to have to sleep out in the living room tonight
