I just found my porcelaine frizzle soaked in water so I presumed she had fallen in the pond. Bathed her in warm water and dried her with the hairdyer. However when I put her back with the other pekins 2 of them including her best friend pecked her and she hunched up and looked miserable which makes me think they have done this before. She has no sign of injury so I bought her inside with food and water, she ate some food. I then put her best friend in with her to see what happened and again she pecked her so I took her out She doesn't seem unwell so I have put the choc pekin who is quite docile in with her. Is this the right thing to do and why are the pecking her - they have been together since they were 6 weeks old

she might be ill.

She is in the kitchen on her own now and seems happier - she is eating. I think with hindsight they had attacked her and made her all wet I've given her some nutridrops.

Mine have squabbles all the time....guess best to keep her seperate to boost her up but not for too long.

 

Are they pecking or eating the feathers....think if the latter its due to lack of protein in their diet.

Just saw them pecking her on the head, she just took it - normally her and best mate face up to each other and play fight but today looked really picked on. They are still on growers so should be getting enough protein

Are you sure she isn't ill? The others will sense it if she is. How old are they?
