Beating Up On The New Kid

As you have read, when the weather is cold, most of the chickens go to one area instead of roosting in two different areas. They all just sit together on the ground in the cow barn when it is cold. Well, one of the those island reds decided she would fly up and roost with some of the other chickens who stay in the cow barn all year round. Well, Sally and May did not like another chicken on the roosting spot. May got one one side and May on the other and they started going closer and closer to this other chicken until that chicken was getting pecked and she jumped down off the roosting spot. She stayed in the cow barn but did not roost. She stayed on the ground with the other ones. They are pretty smart. They know when it’s getting cold and they stay in with the cows.
