Why not put Lucky in Ostara's room and leave her out with all but plucky[is he your bad boy?] you can always check during the over night hrs before bed to make sure everyone is behaving themselves.

Yeah that's what i was thinking. Yeah he is my mean one. Scrooge isnt too far behind him... LOL that's even if ostara wants to go back in the pen.

 

[Miss Lydia]

Lets hope she does. They herd good too so keep that in mind if she bows up at it.

Sorry I am trying to keep the name and genders straight in my head
Is this right?
Plucky-drake, 2nd meanest
Scrooge-drake, 1st meanest
Howard-drake, harmless?
Lucky-hen, getting the tar beat out of her
Ostara-hen, new and holding her own
Dark wing-hen, alpha female and not a feather out of place b/c she is alpha

Yea pretty much just swap the plucky and scrooge. Plucky is the biggest problem then scrooge. Howard is protective of his mate and he wants to kill plucky. Most of the dudes chase plucky away and scrooge tries to mate with him. tonight ostara wouldn't come in for me, she's close by. I put lucky in her coop and left howard out in the pen instead of plucky like I usually do bC they should be separated at night. Luckys upset she is alone so i figured having her mate near her would be better then her aggressor. And plucky went in the coop. I'm hoping ostara will come in for me in the next couple days. I have a feeling she will in time. She came back to the coop and went in and out she knows this is home.

I wouldn't feed her anywhere but inside the coop pen that way she'll possibly be in there when time to lock up. Even treats for now if you can.

That's kinda hard right now bC I have lucky seperate in the pen by herself. I totally see your point and it makes perfect sense. She does associate me with food which is good. I pop outside alot during the day maybe i can get her to go inside and eat with the others when I let them in. I always sit it there with them to make sure they leave lucky alone. Then of course I have to kick them out. Lol

 

[Miss Lydia]

I forgot you had Lucky in. Well maybe up by the pen. So she associates that as he place to get food.

No worries. There is a small plate with food and water near the gate to the pen. The river ducks seem to think its there for them lol.
