After some brutal pecking that led to surgery, and now a month of isolation for treatment for one of my cream legbar girls I have decided to get rid of my three bully chickens (RIRXAustralorp) from my flock, however I’m keen to maintain the same sized flock.
Aside from the bullies I have 2 legbars, a Wyandotte and a polish hen. When the 3 bullies go I am looking at replacing them with 2 polish and 1 more Wyandotte. What I am wondering is if people have experience with these birds becoming aggressive? I really can’t relive the trauma of the intense hen pecking we’ve just had here. I suppose I’m looking for reassurance that they’re all relatively docile birds who should harmonise ok.
Vet has recommended I put the polish with my injured legbar as she is isolated inside for the next month so that she doesn’t get lonely and reintroduction is so tough, but would be interested in others thoughts?
