9SpiceyChickens
Free Ranging
We have 1 full grown, 2 year old hen I'm not here to talk about how I have only 1 alone, so get over it! I also have 2 6.5 week old chicks. 1 is a Cochin the other an Austrolorp. They are almost all feathered (it looks like at least) and I want to move them out to the big girl coop. They have met through the fence before, but once (the only time they've free ranged together) Bubblegum (big girl) pecked Skipper (Austrolorp) on the head. Is there a way I can minimize the pecking? I know some will happen, but it hurts me to see my babies get pecked.
