My family is so excited that we got some chickens this weekend. We have a coop that is for four chickens and we got a bantam dark brahma pullet and an ameracauna pullet who is I think a few weeks younger than the brahma. We also got a 2 week old polish chick. They are all adorable. The chick is inside in a breeder for the next few weeks and we have had the pullets in their coop and in the yard with supervision. My big concern so far has been that the brahma is really bullying the Ameracauna to the point where she is not letting the Ameracauna get to the food easily and the Ameracauna is staying on the upper level of the coop it seems out of fear. But even when they are in our very large back yard the brahma is going after the Ameracauna for no apparent reason. Although sometimes it seems to be about food. I am trying to give them food separately when they are out so I can make sure the younger one is getting enough to eat. I am really concerned that when the Polish is ready to go in the coop in the middle of June, it will be more pecking and bullying.
Please advise. Thanks so much for your help in advance.
