So 2 weeks later they've stopped picking on my new girl, Willie. She really likes my rooster, and she loves to stroll around the yard with the group. My blackstar, Sissy has left her alone for the most part but my mutt-hen Lily has not let up at all- they are fine during the day doing a good job of avoiding each other (Lily beats up on Sissy too, she's just a grump).
The problem we are having is at night- Lily will not let Willie in the coop at night- we discovered last night Willie was sleeping in the dog crate- which is fine for now while it's summer-
We tried forcing her in there but Lily is relentless even in the dark she will push her out- I got her in tonite, I dont know how long its going to last. They seemed to settle, so Ill see in a few mins.
It's been 3 weeks- should I keep letting them "work it out" or should I move her over to the other coop? The other coop has a single rooster and a single hen.
