I just got a 10 week old serama (Plasma) a few days ago, she's already 10 weeks old and the biggest sweetheart ever but she's just the one, and I really want to integrate her into the trio I already have.
My problem is that I think I may have misjudged how very tiny seremas were. I have 3 girls already at 15 weeks (BR, BO and a Brahma) and they are at least double if not triple Plasma's size.
I tried popping her into the coop when they were sleeping and checked on them early to let them out and they were doing okay, the three big girls had jumped down on the floor and were ignoring the Plas on the perch.
They live in a pretty spacious coop and have free run of a quite sizable yard, but when I go out to supervise the 4 of them, they ignore her unless she gets close-ish, then one of the others will chase her around and peck at her if she gets cornered. I set up a bunch of obstacles for her to hide under but I'm still afraid to leave them alone unsupervised. When I isolate her in her own private mini run, she cries something terrible.
Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Should I wait for her to get bigger and try again? Will they ever hang around in a pack of four? I'm afraid a cat might get her if she doesn't travel with the other girls, she's so itty...
Please help?
