Raina Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi all, I've been and brought a 4 day old chick today (the youngest i could find) I just put the 4 day old in with the youngest and it kept jumping & pecking wobblers feet! Is this normal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Could you divide them with something so they can see each other until wobbler is a bit stronger? if not don't worry too much, my first ones out had a pop at the later ones but no one actually hurt anyone else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebdj Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 When my 11 recent arrivals came out into the brooder, the first ones did pick a little bit on the last ones. This was more obvious when I put them in their little run. The one that got picked on the most was 'Batman' (long story) who is a tiny black bearded silkie. This lasted a couple of days on and off when I monitored it but since then they have all been getting on quite well and they seem to have taken well to Batman. They often let him/her huddle into the middle when settling down for some sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teri Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 would it be worth just trying one of them with wobbler until he is stronger? that way he has a better chance of defending himself and will have a friend much quicker, pehaps a bit of moral support when you introduce the rest? just an idea good luck teri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
