Yes I have tried doing that for the hen that is bullying all the others. It did work but I feel bad putting Penny in there since she didn't do anything. I managed to get the peepers on Cinnamon so we are going to see how that works out. That you all so much for all of your responses.

Yes they do. It is the OverEz large coop. I believe it is 4ft by 6ft we are in the USA and it is the middle of summer.

I've tried doing that with Cinnimon and she did get better at behaving. maybe I will do that with the others too.

I'm not sure wether or not it is true, but it does concern me that her feathers wont be grown in for winter. Thank you for helping me with this.

I will try it. Thank you.

My run is 8ft by 16ft so we have 18ft per bird

I really don't want to give her away and definitely not cull her. I'm the type of person who doesn't what to let any animals go. I'm going to try to put the peepers on again this afternoon. But will the peepers stop her from breathing through her nose? She is under a year old and I'm afraid its...

If you have a bird vet near by I would bring him ASAP. I don't know what else you could do though.

Aw that's very cute. Thank you.

I have a very large dog crate in their run that I put one of my chickens in named New Hampshire, because she was picking all of my other girls feathers. Would that work?
