Thank you for your response. I'm thinking I may have to separate her for a bit. She is one of my originals and would hate to see her damaged any further. She also did just lose her friend, our Dorkin, that we had from the start also. Could this be part of the problem too? Would getting...

My plymouth rooster is attaching my minorca hen by grabbing her comb. It is starting to bleed and change shape. What should I do? The Rooster is younger and came after the minorca who had been with us for 2 years before he arrived . She doesn't allow him to mate and has never let him near...
