I'm going to Maryville but not until the 17th. If anyone has some chickens or eggs to rehome then and Rain can meet me around Cookeville I can transport. I'd love to see you again, Rain. So sorry about all your recent losses.

I have made it to hubbys house. Chickens are very hot. The wrecker guy wanted me to leave them in the car. I thought they wpuld be ok with the windows down but they are really hot. Still up and at though. They have water now.

Okay - I need some advice. I'm a newbie - about a year - and have a 14 week silkie/cochin cross. She is the sweetest little hen ever, but the my other birds (4 cochin hens, a silkie hen, and a cochin rooster) won't let her roost int the henhouse with them at night, keep her from their favorite dusting area, prevent her from getting to the treats and she's totally isolated. They all seem to chase her away and she doesn't fight back. I have a separate young flock (8weeks) of buff bantum brahmas, but there are 8 roosters and 8 hens and when I tried to add her to that flock, they ganged up on her. Poor Lilly - is there something I should be doing to get her accepted? It's all the big hens And my gentle rooster even chased her around the years. Any advice would help.

Take out several of the dom birds. Keep them out for a week or so and after is has been with the others for that week add them back and see what happens. Usually they will lose a few notches and be lower in the pecking order.
Anybody else?

Thanks - ill give that a try. Two of them are really the meanies. Can you also tell me when I should try to incorporate my little brahmas? I've kept them separated, but am thinking maybe I could add the hens to the flock and keep the roos separate? I'm so much of a novice - I don't understand all this chicken behavior!
