In the Brooder
Please help!!
We have had a stray gamefowl chicken for about 6-8 months. Lived in our front yard for a few months, then went broody and we were able to catch her and now she has been in our coop for about 1 month. I have never been able to pet her but she would get very close for treats. We just added three more chickens, given to us by a friend. They are very tame and very much pets. We love them already. My stray chicken is now a bully. She made of the new ones bleed and plucked her feathers. They are all scared of her. I have had to separate them by locking my stray chicken in the coop during the day. Then at night the 3 news one want to sleep in the coop so I have to switch them. I just bought the blinders and going to try them tonight.
Any thoughts, I would more than appreciate any advice someone wants to share. I’m feeling like my stray gamefowl would just be better of back in the wild?
