What breed is my pullet?

[babbychickens]

I swapped my rooster for a hen today with the woman I got my chickens from. She did tell me the breed but I forgot it. She said that it's around 3 months old.

Also, this isn't breed-related but my other 2 hens (both a month older) were fine with her all day but when I went to close their coop door tonight they wouldn't stop pecking her. She was very stressed and kept trying to get out so I just brought her up to the house with me in a box for the night. Any tips on how I could assimilate them?

Try putting them together at night when it’s dark out and they can’t see each other or the pullet.

If they start pecking her early in the morning I won't be there though. I was planning on taking her back down when I woke up so I could watch them. Unless you think that after being together overnight they won't bother her in the morning?

Integration of a lone bird is difficult at best.

Do you have or can you get a large dog crate she can be in? That way they can see her and get used to her but not hurt her?

Just one of many articles about adding birds.

She is a crossbred.

I wouldn't leave her on the roost with ones that were attacking her. They will probably do so through the night as well.

I set up a cage within their coop to sleep in and put their separate feeders right next to each other, either side of the wire so it's like they're eating together. Then for increasing periods of time I let her out each day. I also placed pots and bricks and perches throughout the run so they don't get bored and the little one has places to get away. One completely leaves her alone now and the other one only does it some times

I've sorted out the pecking problem, anyone know what breeds she is? Even if u can only identify one
