Hey Y'all. I am new to this forum and new to raising chickens. We have 4 Buff orpingtons, 2 black orpingtons, 1 lavender orpingtons, and 1 Wyandotte. We got the blacks, lavender, and Wyandotte after the buffs. They are all getting along great after the week of pecking order establishment. My concern is the Wyandotte. She is a real loner. She doesn't really participate with the other hens in the flock. She like to stay in the coop while they all free range. Every now and then she will come out of the coop and join the others but it will take her a year and day to catch up to them. The only time she doesn't move at a snails pace is when someone wants to pick her up. Also she has no interest in mealworms. The rest of the flock is addicted to them. I have noticed too that she lays down all the time. She lays down to eat even. She will be walking around the outside of the coop and just drop and fall asleep. The weirdest thing of all is that she will sit and stare at random things (the wall, a leaf, the cat) and just sit there with her mouth open and eyes shut until its time to go into the coop for the night. Also our Lavender Orpington has started to bully her.. Any thoughts on my Wyandotte named Wynonna?
