Nobody likes her!

[BeccaB00]

Rosalina, My little game hen is not very social. Everybody hates her!

EVERY chicken I have flogs and picks on her. unless, ofcaorse they're

younger than her Even her brothers and

sisters who she's been with since birth. Everyone of the birds got

along with each other, but all hated her. Why is this? I mean I worry

about putting roosters with her cause they don't let her eat hardly.

She's not confident around other chickens. But, If there is a chick younger

than her around, she takes advantage of that and literally tries to kill it.

I think she knows shes the boss of chicks.

But..I have no idea it's crazy.

I don't want to let her out in my yard because shes a small breed, and would

get eaten with-in days. But I don't really have an extra pen to keep her in by

herself. Why is she like this?! We seperated her from her brothers and sisters

a few months ago. So no worries about in-breeding, but still. She's hated by

everyone! Poor girl! Any advice on WHY this may be, would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Becca

She is low man on the totem pole, it sounds like.
She has become the target of all of the hens that are higher in the pecking order.
If they are hurting her and you are unable to separate her, you may have to get rid of her in order to keep her safe.

Hope it works out for you and for her.
