Help
my white araucana roo chick is being attacked by the other chicks
he is slightly smaller than the lavender araucanas
He is terrified!
No major injuries as I seperated him out into a spare rabbit hutch I have
Have put him with another favorolle chick from same clutch that isnt agro at him so he has company and warmth
Why does this happen?
Will they be ok at night just 2 outside in rabbit hutch
Its summer here in New Zealand but we are having some cool wet days
I have plenty of bedding in hutch and its water tight but have tarped run incase
These chicks have been outside from day one as raised by my broody
I just hope he will be ok without a mum at 3 weeks
any advice would be great
Thanks
Natasha
 
and it was only the lavender araucanas doing the attacking
7 baby chicks together and the favorolles where fine with him just 2 or 3 of the lavender araucanas
