I have 10 buff orpingtons & 2 faveroles. I wanted to get 2 mottled hudans this spring. Will I have a problem with pecking? The only reason why I am concerned is that the orps have plucked the "beard" feathers off as well as the feathers on the back of one of my faveroles. I read some where that chickens have a tendancy to peck at individuals that look very different than the rest of the flock. What do you think? Should I go for it or get a different breed?
