First time chicken owner here, and already I’m stressing!
I know someone here can help~ we bought 4 straight run Americaunas and one Cornish Rock x on 9/3 from Tractor Supply. Since we were unsure of how many males there may be, we picked up 4 pullets about a week later.
All had been fine, until yesterday. They began picking on the Cornish(my favorite, GertieGirl), and today, after a nice time in the yard, they tore her up once inside, drawing blood. I am beyond upset!! Right now I have her by herself to heal a bit. Does anyone have thoughts as to what is happening? They are still in a huge Hefty box, we’re waiting on the coop to be delivered. Thank you in advance
