Hello! I introduced my six 18 month old chicks to my two older hens a few weeks ago.
There’s one queen who pecks and is mean to them, but nothing serious, until it’s roost time! I am always finding them huddled together in the nest box or on the wire below the roosts. I’ve spied on them at roost time to confirm that it is dear Queen Farrah Fawcett who scares the bejesus out of them when they try to roost.
Anything I should be doing? Or just let nature run it’s course and let them sort it out?
