Roxy went with the other chickens for a couple minutes today. I was supervising them and they were acting fine until Jill went after Roxy again. Since I was supervising I separated Roxy and she was fine.

I'd let them have a little tassle, pull a few feathers. Only separate them if they begin to get really violent, like drawing blood. They'll build a suitable pecking order quicker and they won't pick on Roxy.

Thanks Dan.

I thought since she's been seeing the other chickens for over two weeks that they'd leave her alone. And they all did, except Jill.

The problem is Jill immediately goes for Roxy's comb. The last time I left them to sort out this on their own Roxy got a bloody comb. It wouldn't bother me if she just pulled a few feathers out.

Hm... I see. I suppose it's just a matter of them getting used to each other. It took Marigold months to get used to Lovey... and Pinks. :/

I know what that's like. When I introduced my two new hens to the flock, Gracie, always took after them and hurt them. But it's the only way they can establish their pecking order
