What if I temporarily gave her to my neighbor for a little bit, then got her back? Would she lose that behavior then?

Also, I noticed the other day that she now has a large black bump on her wing, comb, and neck. They seem to be multiplying. Does she have some type of illness or something?

Would a cage be better thought? I’d be nervous someone would get tangled in it

Ok, I don’t have a small enough crate for inside the sleeping coop. But I do have one that will fit in the run

Ok. We don’t have a small enough crate to be inside at night, but we have one that will fit in the run

The wood is where they will sleep in and wire (which was their full coop until tonight) is the run. I can leave Maple in the run

I don’t think I would be able to have just a fence between them at night, but maybe during the day. I can post a picture of the coop setup

I’ll definitely try separating her for awhile first. We didn’t really notice anything after putting the Peck No More lotion on Twix, but we didn’t apply it everywhere and everyday. I was nervous that it would make her injuries burn. Has anyone had any experience with it? It turns them purple

I just don’t think I can do the Pinless Peepers, they look painful. Wouldn’t it make her sick from putting it in her nose?

This is Twix’s neck with Maple behind her. I figured it was the pecking order at first, but it was three months ago when it all started. Maple just keeps ripping the feathers out and won’t stop

They are about to move into a new coop tonight, but the one they have been in their whole life is 10x7 feet. We’re attaching their old coop to the new one to use it a run. We might leave Maple in it tonight and see how it grows. Also, we have been giving them some protein-enriched treats, but...

Ok. Would crushed eggshells be enough? I have noticed that there are not many feathers around the coop from her

I have one Appenzer I have four hens. Snow, a two year old Appenzeller Spitzauben Twix, an Easter Egger Frizzle who is about to turn one year old. She is the one being picked on Maple, a full blooded Easter Egger, who is also almost a year old. I think her and Twix shared the same mom. Maple...

No, so sorry I said that in a confusing way. We got the new one in hopes of leveling out the pecking order between the mean one and the Frizzle.

Ok. The fourth hen is new to the flock. We had hoped it would even everything out. Would the new one affect anything badly? Maple and Twix are picking on her, but not too badly

They are on Producer’s Pride Layer feed, plus some treats. The four of them live in a ten feet long and seven feet wide coop.

I don’t think she is sick, but we are about to treat for mice and live just in case. We watched the mean one rip the feathers out. We tried to keep the mean one separated during the day but it made everyone freak out. We will definitely try it again though.
