Bottom of the Pecking Order
 | ***EDIT — Thank you all for your insight! I am going to give it a bit longer before slowly reintroducing. I am also going to isolate my bully hen, Roxie, in hopes of knocking her down a few pegs. If the aggression doesn’t change, Roxie will be rehomed. Thanks again! My poor sweetie girl found herself at the bottom of the pecking order (see first picture). I brought her inside, washed her up because it was pretty bloody and have been putting ointment on her while she stays in a dog crate in a dark room. She’s been loving the extra attention/cuddles and healing up quite nicely! Does she look healed enough to go back out to the coop or should I wait another week? [link] [comments] |
