Poor Scorpio...still a pariah. Since her little head has gotten pecked so much, it's not growing any new feathers. Which means that she's got a permanent little bald spot on the back of her head witch is a huge bulls eye to the other chickens. She's been separated for so long that she's now the "new guy" ripe for picking on. So, after thinking long and hard, Matt and I came up with this new living situation for her. The other chickens can see her through the chicken wire, but they can't pick on her. It's our fervent hope that with slow reintroduction, Scorpio will find a place within the flock.
As of this morning, things were promising...
Blondie's been permanently banished to the planter, which she now has all to herself. She's not laying anymore and picks on the other chickens. I'm afraid a trip to the Woodburn Livestock Auction is in her future.
