I think a couple of my chickens are prejudice! After and attack on my free-range chickens from a stray dog (I had 3 hens now I have 2) I decided to put the survivors in with the main flock since they are not a breed specific chickens but are great layers. One is solid black and the other a fawn and black mix. I have a very mixed flock of 6 different kinds of chickens and 2 call ducks. The smallest being one silkie hen and the largest a BO hen. At first the free rangers have acclimated well and no one is picking on them since they are small but not as small as the silkie who is on the bottom of the pecking order. But they have chosen to chase and torment my one lakenvelder hen. They just wont leave her alone and they gang up on her. She is closest to their size. The Roo is not doing anything about it even though she is his favorite hen. They haven't actually drawn blood but they are plucking a few feathers and just tormenting her by chasing her constantly. She is the only white bird I have is it a color thing?? She is the brightest color hen aside the BO and the Buff silkie who they could care less about. My poor beautiful Miss. Bianca has tattered feathers and is being pooped on b/c they wont let her roost with the others. What can I do???
