I guess I have a house chicken, for the time being, until I can get him integrated or sold. I sold his partner today, and I put him in with the rest, and my 2 black hens darn near killed him. I seriously thought they broke his neck. But he now loves me for saving him.

On the back of my recliner,

Yep, you have a buddy! Speaking of integrating birds, I have three young AMs I need to move in with their parents. I've been letting them free range together some but the young ones still separate themselves. Any tips?

That was my thinking with this boy, but I tell ya, those hens were brutal!! I let it go on for a bit while he ran/flew away from them. But then they got him cornered and were hammering him, so I stepped in. I seriously thought he was dead. Not moving, crooked neck, head thru a hole in the chicken wire. I was shocked when I picked him up and felt him breathing.

Oz, I added the other youngsters with momma Clara, and she protected them. But most times I guess you just have to try and let them sort it out. :confused:
