Hi,
Some background since I'm new here, we've got four chickens two Goldlines brought as pullets last year and two Rhode Island Reds that we hatched. They were introduced to the adults at about eight week old and everything seemed fine.
The problem is one of them turned out to be male, he's now 20 weeks old and he's been bullied by one of the hens for about the last 2 weeks(to the point where he wont come out the hen house if he can see her) So I moved him to his own house and run thinking it would help him but he just paces around looking miserable trying to get back in with the hens!
So where is the best place for him, on his own, or with the hens or do I take out the bully Pretty and tell her to play nicely (if so how?)
