Neighbor Chicken will not leave

[lverner]

I hope we aren't jinxing anything but.....I'm calling it. I think the big girls have accepted Little into the flock! There hasn't been any real chasing; I think Little is just nervous and will scoot out of the path if any of them even walk her way. She is eating, drinking, pecking at the flock block, and not spending hardly any time on the pallet. She goes in to roost with the big girls (not last) and seems to be ok! I'm so happy!!!! She's spunky, and I love her tenacity! The next change will be this weekend. We are adding on to the run. We are adding a small coop for the new chicks as they will transition outside this weekend. You all know how chickens LOOOVVEEE change.... Thank you, everyone, who helped out with answers and support!!!!!

Hurrah for Little!

I'm so happy that at least one story on BYC has a happy ending.

I had lost track of this story until tonight. I caught up and now I'm choking back tears. Good for little and the rest of the flock!

So happy she's found a good home with you.

Here's a picture of Little, 4 of the big girls and the very scary head of cabbage!

I really think Little's story would make an excellent children's book.

I am currently enrolled in an English Comp class. Should there be an opportunity to write a story, THIS is it! lol!

No wonder you named her Little. You said she was tiny but wow. Picture really proves the point.

OH MY!!! She's so "Little" how cute!

What a wonderful way to gain a hen! I'm happy she has been accepted by the rest of your girls and she really is tiny! It's a wonder what happened to the other three she was with.
