Poor little Pebbles. She was very confused about going into the coop as the others were scaring her and pecking at her. I was in my bedroom and could her her plaintive little tweets outside. The cute little thing was wandering the garden and trying to look for where her nursery coop had been, and there was no sign of Ken.
I had to throw some corn down outside the coop so Ken would come back out and then stand in Pebbles' way so that she couldn't run away - all whilst softly telling her it would be ok.
Eventually Ken kicked the others out of the way and returned to the coop, with a tentative Pebbles following her. She will probably have a bit of difficulty getting in every night until she gets a bit bigger and can stand up for herself.
But, hey, that's chickens! They sort themselves out very well, in the end...
