Race Relations Among Chickens

So, Mus's mom has upped the number of poultry in the house to a whopping 8, which is hefty considering our limited amount of space and the baker's dozen of dogs already occuptying said space. And tensions in the chicken courtyard are steadily rising...

Originally Mus's mom bought 4 white chickens. KInd of your standard looking Brakebush sort of creatures. Later, she added 4 black and white ones- they kind of have a speckled nature to them, but the overall effect is black.

Apparently, the idiocy of white supremacy is not confiined only to humans.

The white chickens chase the black ones around and peck at them and rip their feathers out, and refuse to let the black ones eat. If we put down two separate dishes of food so they don't have to mingle, all that happens is two white chickens eat at one dish and the other two occupy the other dish, meaning we'd have to put down five dishes before the poor black ones have any hope of eating. The oppressed chickens are getting sick from the stress of their living conditions. So far one of the black chickens has actually died from the abuse.
