I've got a bully - please help!

Hopefully this doesn't seem to harsh, but my opinion would be to either kill or get rid of the bully. With the two choices I would probably just kill. If the bully has already shown a little aggression to you when you go in with treats, I would hate to see what kind of aggression they will show later on. If you sell the bird, you're just passing on the problem to someone else, which really isn't fair. And if the other birds are getting along fine, I really see no reason to keep the bully bird. If you can't kill the bird yourself, I'm sure that you can find someone that will. Like I said before, I hope this isn't to harsh, it's only my opinion and I am used to having birds killed. Best of luck! :D


Not too harsh at all - my husband is an active hunter and would take care of the bully if necessary.

I have her separated right now, as the other 3 are peacefully reacclimating..... ugh!! Silly birds .... Thank you to everyone for their input.... We have had such a wonderful time with the chickens - this was our first "flock". The Rhode Island Red just decided recently that she was going to be a jerk.....

Great! :)

Haha! They can be funny creatures. :) Glad you're liking them, chickens are really fun! RIR's do have a reputation for being nasty sometimes. :/

Yeah - next time I think I'm just getting Cuckoo Marans..... She is my favorite - gets along with everyone and is so friendly. She stands up to the RIR, and claims her space (even though she is small)

I've never had Marans, but heard that they're friendly. Maybe eventually I'll get some. :) Buff Orps are my personal favorite. :D I love them!
