Where are you? It will cost a little more but you should be able to find a "started" pullet.

My Copper Marans, which are the oldest (2yrs) of my flock, have killed two of the four new chicks I have brought into the coop this Spring. I have year old, Ameracaunas, an Orpington and a couple of bantys. Also a Banty Rooster. My new girls were Brahma bantys and after the one was pecked to death, I brought in two 6week old Orpington chicks to keep the Barahma company, I came out to find one of the Orpingtons pecked to death, in the inner yard, which was only accessed by two broody Marans from the coop. I feel awful and don't know whether I should let the 2 month old chicks roam in the big yard with the flock or what. PleaseHelp. Im ready to get rid of the Marans, as they seem like bullys.
They have been in a translucent box inside the coop with the others. I have slowly introduced these chicks, as I did last year with other bantys, Orpingtons, Ameracauna chicks. I've never had any Chickocide before. Very distressing.
