Went down to see my chickens today I go twice aday if not more on weekends spend all my spare time down at the allotment. I opened the coup door and Thomasina tried to get pass me swawking like mad and distressed, I picked her up and put her back in the run, and then Lizzie who is a light Sussex and the biggest of the 6 pinned her to the ground and attacked her, when she managed to escape with me making a noise lizzie then chased her inside with the rest following.
Went down to get corn and when I came back she had been chased into a corner.
I found someone else in the allotment who has chickens but only a bantum cockel left and a polish and we took thomasina there , who has settled there, with a blood cut to her head. With hindsight thomasina has been on the outskirts for the last few weeks.She looks healthy with red combe and clear eyes.
I had these chickens since they were 19 weeks last may 2010 and they have been together since they were babies, why attack now.
