HELP. Just got my first chickens - they won't let the youngest eat!!

It's funny how chickens are about breed and others who do or do not look like them! I have always had a mixed flock but I notice that birds of the same breed always flock together and roost together. Even when younger birds are introduced they eventually gravitate towards those like themselves. Are the older birds in your flock all the same breed? If so is there any chance of getting a couple more of her breed? If not you'll just have to see how things go and hope that they all settle in eventually. As mentioned I'd keep an extra feeder or two out.

 

Well it's probably not that big of a deal then if the rest of the flock is mixed as well. It's probably just that she's a bit younger maybe. If they were all the same and she was the only different bird sometimes that's an issue.

 

They're almost full grown so it's not like she's gonna starve to death; if they were 5 day old bittys then I'd be concerned.
I often have that problem after a broody hen weans her bittys and I throw her back in the layer pen. I simply put out another feed pan, and throw some scratch on the ground here & there so she can grab a few bites here and there until they get back with the program, which takes about a week.
As far as the roosting situation, as long as they are letting her roost, all is well. Mine will throw each other off the roost and I have to hang dividers so the bullied hen can find a "peck free zone."
Hope this helps.

 

It'd be funny if she pecks them off the roost and ends up being the head hen.

 

Are they settling in? Things should be sorting out by now.
