I feel bad for this little girl. She is smaller than the rest of my girls. My smallest girl before I got Opal WAS the brunt of all abuse from the older hens but since I got Opal it seems even the one that was the catchall for picking on is even being mean to her. She sits on the roost up high most of the day. In the mornings and evenings when the girls get free range time I leave her in the coop/run. I let her free range one day but I about had a heart attack after she decided to sit on the neighbors fence... Her wings clipped and all she still flew up there some how. SO no free range for her until she has fattened up a bit more and is too heavy to fly. She is so thin and just bones right now. SO while the other hens are free ranging I go into the coop/run and love on Opal and let her eat as much as she wants. She pigs out. I think she might not have been getting much food in the flock she was in before since she is so skinny. She is so docile though. She lets me pick her up and love on her. She lets me pet her while she eats. I love her! OH and I noticed she looks like she is going to have a rose or buttercup comb.
