Hi,I have three very shy and cowardly black ops. They were recently purchased and we were prepared for our usual hour or so of shyness then all would be normal. However it's now been 25 hours and it's almost gotten worse. They refuse to defend themselves and will stick their heads in a hole or gap and take a beating from the others. Then sometimes they're left alone in their little corner of the pen and they'll cower in the corner like chick's in the brooder. They'll eat for about 10 minutes ay a time. I'm really worried about them starving or thirsting to death. It's currently 99 degrees and theyre to scared to go under a little canopy we have whenever there's no natural shade in the run (30 or so minutes at time) we put the main culprit in solitary confinement and she will stay there for a few days in the hopes the pecking order will shift around but I don't have much hope for my orps. What can I do?
