We started a flock with 4 chickens in April. By late May we were pretty certain we had a rooster (turns out we didn't, just had a really bitchy buff orpinton) in the bunch so we got two more chicks, brooded them and recently started introducing them to the other 4 girls. This had been going poorly, we basically had a flock of 4 and then the two babies.
This morning our daughter's dog got out and killed one of the babies and we're not sure what to do. The one baby left just seems so lost and the other 4 girls peck at her the instant she comes close.
Just looking for advice, or hopefully someone to tell me this will work out. It's been a rough morning on our kids.
