sad pekin

[Lavender Ladies]

I have two pekin lavenders and yesterday one of them got "beaten up" by 4 big hens!! She has no obvious injuries but doesn't want to move. I am quite new to keeping them and wonder is it shock and if so will she recover?

So sorry to hear this. Are you able to separate the four big hens that have been aggressive from the two pekins? This seems very important. Have they been with the larger birds for long? If you have no way of immediately separating the aggressive birds, I suggest putting the injured bird in something like a catbox or a cardboard box with food and water to give her a chance to get over her ordeal.
