my young girl that i brought up from 2 days old last year whos in with the big girls still isnt really being accepted its been a good few months now and i am still worried about her . each time she goes to bed { i have to lift her in } she gets picked on badly that she screams bascailly , but today all birds got mixed in together as the wind had blown open the quantine door into the bantams run as i forgot to double seal it shut yesterday and now although she picks on my little dutch millifluer banties which i saw her do today but not in a really nasty way i am wandering if its worth her going back in with them full time as she spends a lot of time looking though into thier side and she did seem happier but do i risk upsetting the banties .
what do you think is the best thing for me to do ??
 
If she's excessively stressed all the time Karminski she will get ill. I'd try her with the Bantams. They can probably look after themselves as ours can with the big birds, no problem. Far too fast to be picked on.
 
Whatever you decide, she should not be in a house/run where she gets bullied to the extent you describe.
 
i'll put her back in with the little bees , would not mind as such but shes actully slighty bigger then my other girls i know its all down to age difference but she is laying well so i cant see why they stil wont truly except her :-)05
