Hi! I'm new!

Hi! I'm Diane and am new to chicken raising. I have 6 hens of varying types as we were hoping for hens who like to be pets. I actually posted a request for help under "Managing Flocks" due to one of my girls being bullied. I like having chickens but had no idea of the problems associated with them when they don't get along! Plus the worry! I was 2000 miles away for work worrying if they were all warm enough back at home at 7 degrees F! We bought a second smaller coop to put near the larger coop to keep the one hen near the others.....anyway, long story. If you have knowledge about this please check out my question under "Need Help" in Managing Flocks. I'm just so grateful to have found this forum!!! I want to do my best for the birds and haven't been able to find answers so I'm so excited to hopefully, finally have help! THANK YOU!!
