I have had my chickens going on two yrs.
an australorp,sexlink,and rir rooster,and a aracauna.
my friend gave me his sexlink in july.
since then my aracauna is not welcome to roost
or eat with them.
she stays in the coop all day untill I come home,and I
have to let only her out first for a while so she can eat.
the top of the pecking order hen doesent bother her
at all.it is the newcomer,and australorp and roo.
even when they are free ranging she is on her own.
she is so stressed that she has not layed since fall.
she growls,and acts skittish,but other than that
she looks healthy and has not lost any weight.
any ideas on what might be the problem?
Is it because she doesent look like the others?
or maybe she is abnormal in some way?
has anyone ever had this problem?
