Tiny is lucky to have a mom like you
A friend of mine had a similar situation a few years ago. 'Pickle' as her kids named her, was always getting picked on and would never defend herself even though she had no problems. She built Pickle her own little coop and run but soon found she was depressed without any friends. She tried a itty-bitty little bantam hen but she ended up picking on Pickle too after a bit but she eventually found Pickle the perfect coop mate, a little dwarf bunny. They've been best friends ever since. The bunny is only about 3 lbs, Pickle is a buff orpington and about 8 lbs, but she treats bunny like her little baby. Bunny (literally, her name) will lay in the nest and Pickle will sit on her like any mother hen with newborn chicks. They play in the little run together and it is so adorable!
