Will she be okay?

[PegsEggs]

This is Biscuit! She was given to us just a week and a half ago and is the sweetest! Loves to cuddle! BUT, she is in the coop/run with 7 other regular size birds but all of similar age (8-10 weeks). The first few days she was picked on quite a bit and we were worried. She seems to be doing better and actually doing a bit of picking on the others of her own. Is it okay to have her in with the others? Do I need to add a friend her size? or does she need to be in a flock of her own size? In addition does anyone recognize what kind of bantam she is?

She's beautiful! They all need to establish a pecking order so as long as no one gets really beat up, I imagine they'll settle down.

This is good news! I will keep watch

Risky move adding single bird.
I think you got lucky.
She is pretty.
Try starting a new thread here for ID'ing breed.

She looks so similar to my Self Blue OEGB, Willow, but I'm far from an expert at id'ing breeds. She's gorgeous! I agree, you definitely got lucky
