I had a flock of 6...4 EE, 1 RIR and 1 light Brahma. Egg door came open and one EE got eaten 
...I guess she was the peace maker. After that the problems started. All the other hens will attack the light brahma who I took inside all winter to rehab her-- her neck was covered in scabs and a bloody mess. Every time I try to reintroduce they immediately attack her, she hides in a corner and first opportunity runs to me to try to get out. She is the sweetest (and by far the largest!) bird. So I'm converting a 4'x3' playhouse to a coop tractor. If I move it to fresh grass each morning, I'm thinking i could put 3 birds in there total so she's not alone (although she frankly prefers being alone to her mean flock mates!)..?. So what breeds are the most docile and friendly to go with my light Brahma? I don't care about egg production and these birds are more "pets" and are never going to be eaten (by me at least!)
Thanks!
