What do I do with my tiny remaining pullet?

[Shelly-P]

So this morning, the wind broke part of our run and something got in and killed 3 of our 4 pullets we had just put out there. And one of our pair of ducks. The problem we have now is that the one pullet that is left is the smallest and she's getting pecked and chased. I was thinking of pulling her out of there and trying to find another pullet to put her with in the garage for a while then trying again, but any other options? The other idea I had was to pull out the worst two of the bullies and let the other chickens settle in a bit for a few days then put the two back in. Help? Not sure what to do here.

Thank you.

I'd try removing the two worst bullies for several days and then reintroducing them one at a time.

If you can order or find another pullet near the same age I would try that. Singletons have such a hard time and a buddy would give her someone to bond with. A few of the hatcheries sell pullets in smaller orders.

Welcome to BYC. Where are you located? You might find someone with a couple pullets of similar age available on your state or country thread.

I'd try removing the two worst bullies for several days and then reintroducing them one at a time.

I have very little experience with bullying but I think would be better than taking the little one out because every time she's separated integration would have to start all over again.

Do you have plenty of "clutter" in your run and coop so that she can hide from the others when she needs to get away?
