Update! I have successfully rehomed my 3 RIRx - although I finally established it was only one bird being utterly vicious.
I also got another coop smaller than my original one but as big as I could fit. I have added 2 new polish to this smaller coop, and my uninjured legbar and a Wyandotte remain in the original coop. I will probably transition them into the main coop in about a fortnight when the injured bird and her other polish companion can return outside and they will then be isolated there for another couple weeks.
End goal I will essentially build s larger enclos entirely around the two and leave the run doors open so they can utilise the whole space but I have an isolation coop if I need it.
Next dilemma - my injured legbar is in a dog crate in my house along with a polish. She’s giving the polish a bit of a stressful time (no blood but constant chasing and pecking) and I’m sure this is because the space is tiny but the vet didn’t want her to be alone if possible. I’m considering putting her in with the new polish tonight once they go to sleep. I can’t seem to find any evidence of polish ever being nasty so I feel like this may be the less stressful outcome for her. Thoughts?
Have added some snaps of the new coop, newbies and my two indoor visitors.
