I have a mixed age flock the last chickens I brought in 1 welsummer hen for my rooster, and 2 beautiful d'uccle mille fleur
They were 6 weeks when I got them they are now 11 weeks and still hiding under the little hideaway mini roost/ladder I have for them. Every time they come out into the run they instantly get chased back in. If they are at the feeder and another chicken walks in they get scared off the food. They dont come out of the coop. When I let my chickens out to free range in the evening I will bring those 3 into the run so they can have some time in the dirt, I just dont know what else I can do to get everyone to get along, I never had this much trouble before. I guess that goes to show that its not text book every situation calls for different approaches.. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated I want my babies to be healthy and strong so next season they can make great babies with my d'uccle roo and not have to hide in the corner anymore.
