they have a little under 60 square feet and I have 5.Possibly. Do they have room to get away.
Thank you! Their coop is a little under 60 square feet for 5 of them and once we noticed we let them out to free range to distract them a bit. We didn't see any signs of harm. It was freighting watching the RiR run up on her and the BCM crouch for cover. We will be adding 2 sapphire olive eggers once they are old enough and will be removing the RiR. She's an old girl and isn't really producing anyway, the other chickens she currently with are about a year old. So I can see why she thinks she's the boss but I don't want her harming any.As long as no serious harm is being caused, and no blood is drawn then I wouldn’t worry. Just make sure she has plenty of space to run away and let them sort the new pecking order out themselves.
Yeah it’s really frustrating getting a mean chicken, I’ve had a few, chickens will always like to be dominant and aggressive towards those lower in the pecking order but sometimes you can simply just get a persistent mean hen. Tends to be the RIRs too.Thank you! Their coop is a little under 60 square feet for 5 of them and once we noticed we let them out to free range to distract them a bit.
