Hello forum! This site has been a wealth of information for me since taking up chickens! Thank you! I have a problem. One of the sweetest chickens who has now become the low chicken on the totem pole is being chased and pecked at by the rooster. My other girls do not peck her but the rooster does. She tries to hide but when he finally catches her she squats down and he proceeds to peck the hell out of her head, over and over unless I break it up which I cannot do 100% of the time. They are all free range. Should I isolate the one chicken for good in her own area? If he kills her will he then pick on a new chicken that becomes the low chicken on the pecking order? Thank you for sharing your experience!
