Please help!
We have never raised meat chickens before. My brother wanted the experience of "raising" our own food so I let him get one. The plan was to have two meat birds that would be separated from the rest of the flock. When we went back for more chicks the store had run out of meat birds and didn't know when they would have more in.
So we let our meat bird in with the rest. At first everything was great and our meat chick was the leader of the flock.
But we woke up this morning to find that the others had picked on her. She is bleeding. I know it's not a good idea to put your meat chicken in with the others for this reason. I feel really bad. What do I do now?
