Hen bullying silkie

The coop is plenty big and it sits inside an enclosed run that is at least 80 square feet and leads to an outside run that is about 150 square feet AND they get to roam the yard that is close to .25 acre. The drama starts in the run and some days she is not allowed in the enclosed run. We added a small wooden cover for her and there is water outside and plenty of food inside the enclosure. I just added another feeder outside in the yard, which may not work, due to the dog wanting to snack on it.

The idea is to break up sight lines, allowing the lower ranking birds to escape the notice of the more dominant birds.

Ok, I like that idea! We will try that suggestion in both of the runs. Hopefully, that will eliminate some anxiety in her.
