Great information 
I have different breeds, each has their own section. When a hen from each was bullied, I created a whole new section & all of them get along. It's weird how a flock can get along well for years, then suddenly decide they don't like "that one" anymore. I learned that bullying can happen later on, after years of congeniality...go figure. My senior section of previously bullied ladies also has a sweet Buff Orpington Roo. They have their personalities & moods too!
