Haha chickbliss, I observe, believe me, i observe. There's some chicken phsychology going on here that's for sure. I'm starting to think it might be
because the one being picked on used to snatch snacks from the others beaks when treats were handed out, and she was fast too. The other chooks got mad at her and chased her off, after a few days of this, they got wise to her, and it seemed like they had some kind of conference on the matter during the night, and the next day, she was being "punished" for her behavior. It's been that way since. But she could also be hurting physically at the same time that I'm not sure about.
that's the puzzling part.
Still trying to figure it out. She still looks fragile and pale, and depressed. She makes little effort to eat her regular feed, will eat some corn and tomato, and a bite or two of other things, but that's it. She has been drinking a lot of water, which i put poly vi sol in for her, then learned later that you can't use it if it has iron in it! ACK. Of course i was giving her the vitamins with iron. I'll get the other kind tomorrow.
I want her to feel good again, to have a red comb and wattles, to NOT have a pale face, to have fun again, instead of her sad "boot, boot" noise, i want her to complain and stand up for herself. She's too young for this.
