I have 8 6 week old pullets and it is already very oblivious who is lowest on pecking order. I have a buff orpington who in the brooder already got her tail feathers picked bloody twice. Peck no more worked great for that and it hasnt happened again since they are now in the coop. All 7 others roost on the highest roost very close together while there she sits, all alone on the bottom roost on the opposite end. It is pitiful
I have to give 2 of my pullets to my friend since I can really only accommodate 6 hens comfortably. So here is my question. If I were to give my friend this particular one and she is introduced properly to her flock will she stand a chance of raising in the ranks? My friend has several more birds than I do and a couple roosters. I am just wondering if I should keep her if you think she would do better in my smaller flock.
