need help with feeding chooks

[kimriazi]

I acquired 2 isa browns and 2 days later 2 rhode island red. The isa brown would share the chook house with the rhodes island but would not allowed them to eat.They will peck them off even if I put 2 lots of. feeds separately in different ares of the chook pens.One of the rhode island color is almost black with reddish and greens streaks.She gets pick on more than the other reddish one. Just wonder if racism exist in the animal world!! It rains a lot lately in Melbourne,australia.Is it ok for them to free range in the rain and can they get sick from the rain?Pleas advise.

It's fine for them to free range in the rain. I would just watch them when you feed them and make sure the other two are able to get some food even if you need to shew the bossy ones away so the food can be shared, They are probably just working out the poecking order and it should settle down once they have all been together a while.
